client ID

This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.

client ID is how a website or web app identifies itself in IndieAuth and OAuth.

To avoid the need for pre-registration or dynamic registration of clients in IndieAuth, IndieAuth uses a URL to identify clients. Other projects have adopted this technique for similar reasons:

• Obligator - an open-source OpenID Connect Provider, running at https://lastlogin.io (docs)
• Home Assistant - an open-source home automation system (docs)
