[mitreid-connect] Difference between Client and Site

[Matt Hughes]

Oh right, now I get it:

A Site is “the current user authorizing a particular client”
A Client is an authorized application that can talk to the auth server.

In this case, they’re interchangeable. Since the server is both an OAuth2 AS and an OpenID Connect IdP, the terminology can get a little odd.

Using the OpenID Connect Server UI, I’m having a hard time understanding the difference between “clients” and “sites”. Could someone help translate those terms into OpenID Connect terms. I think “client” is a relaying party. But I can’t figure out what “approved sites” means.
