a token and/or the user’s roles, thereby allowing us to determine whether a
user has access to certain parts of the website?|

Hi,
at high level, the SyncopeClientFactoryBean will create a SyncopeClient
instance with the parameters you might have configured for it.
Two types of credentials are supported: username / password and jwt: when
passing the former (as in your sample above), those are internally used to
obtain a jwt value, which is then used for any following operation.
For all the details, just follow the code [1].
HTH
