Description

@jacksonleonard

There are two changes, both of which are additions to existing docs.

Change 1:

on https://openliberty.io/docs/latest/authentication.html

As-is (end of second paragraph):

... In many cases, a user’s credentials are placed in a token that can be passed from the server to different services to authenticate requests for protected resources.

To-be (new sentence added to end of paragraph):

... In many cases, a user’s credentials are placed in a token that can be passed from the server to different services to authenticate requests for protected resources. A protected web resource is one that requires authorization.
