Verifying Your Confidential OIDC Login Client


Running time: 1:58

As part of your initial Hosted Login provisioning, this video helps you verify that you've been supplied with an OpenID Connect confidential client. Confidential clients can be used to facilitate user logins and registrations. However, these clients also require you to include the client secret in your authorization request. Passing client secrets back-and-forth is rarely a good idea, so we strongly recommend that a public client be used for logins and registrations. The confidential client is provided for you primarily to ensure that the Identity Cloud offers widespread coverage of OAuth and OpenID connect features.
