Red Hat Keycloak [1] only supports basic auth for client authentication 
as suggested in the OAuth 2 spec.  But our access tokens are JWS signed 
JWTs.

Does draft-ietf-oauth-jwt-bearer relate to OAuth Bearer token auth [2]? 
  Or is there another document I should be following?  I'd like to see 
what other claims are being discussed related to JWT-based access tokens 
and may have some additional access token claims we've been 
experimenting with others might be interested in.

Also, I'm not sure yet if we'll implement draft-ietf-oauth-jwt-bearer to 
authenticate clients.  A lot of our initial users are more interested in 
public clients and/or the implicit flow as they are writing a lot of 
pure javascript apps served up by simple static web servers.
