[keycloak-user] Keycloak client

[Dmitry Telegin]

Hi Vinay,
In Keycloak, client is (simply speaking) a combination of base URL,
protocol (OIDC/SAML), roles and authorization rules. So, if your
application lives under a single base URL, it's simply impossible to
have many clients per application. Moreover, an adapter (that you use
to secure your application) is configured for a particular client.
Hence, there is a 1-to-1 relationship between an application and a
client.
However, if your application is heterogeneous, i.e. consists of
separate components living under different base URLs (and created with
different technologies), you will have to define individual clients for
them.
Resource is an URI under client's base URL, and is used to define fine-
grained authorization rules within that client.
