[keycloak-user] A simple user login/registration in Keycloak

[Bill Burke]

The idea with IDPs and SSO is that the Authentication server collects 
username and credentials.  The app NEVER sees them.

We do have a REST api that you can invoke to valid a user and obtain a 
token.  If you use this though, and you don't let keycloak gather 
username/credentials itself through the browser, then SSO just won't 
work. The auth server needs to set up an SSO cookie with your browser 
for SSO to work.
