Dynamic Client Registration


This endpoint is based on the OpenId Connect Dynamic Client Registration specification.

Use this endpoint to dynamically create OpenId Connect clients within a OneLogin account.

Upon registration of a new OIDC application the client metadata for the application is returned including the client_id and client_secret.

Dynamic Client Registration is often used by API Gateways such as Mulesoft to allow developers to create clients that will be used for authorizing API requests.

Note that after a new client is registered you will still need to assign access to relevant users before they will be able to authenticate and generate access tokens.

API Authorization Servers

By linking the the newly registered client to an API Authorization Server it’s possible to generate JWT Access Tokens with custom scopes and claims.
