[keycloak-user] [OAuth2.0] Authorization grant & Get token urls

[Marek Posolda]

Keycloak handles well this scenario. Adapters are used on both REST 
resource side, but also on UI application side (application which wants 
to redirect to Keycloak login and exchange code for token).

One of Keycloak points is, that you don't need to code anything in order 
to handle OIDC / OAuth2 flow. The server part of specification is 
implemented by Keycloak auth-server and the client part of specification 
is implemented by our adapters. You don't need to care about redirection 
to keycloak login screen or to exchange code for token etc. Adapters is 
doing all of this for you. You can also enable "consent" for your client 
in which case, the user's consent screen will be displayed during 
authentication by keycloak server. Again, no need to code anything custom.

When you want to send request to REST resource, you need to add 
accessToken to "Authorization: Bearer" header, which will authenticate 
the request.

Take a look at our demo examples (customer-portal, product-portal, 
oauth-client) for more details.
