      <t>This specification proposes an OAuth Dynamic Client Registration
      protocol.</t>
    </abstract>
  </front>

  <middle>
    <section title="Introduction">
      <t>In some use-case scenarios, it is desirable or necessary to allow
      OAuth clients to obtain authorization from an OAuth authorization server
      without the two parties having previously interacted. Nevertheless, in
      order for the authorization server to accurately represent to end-users
      which client is seeking authorization to access the end-user's
      resources, a method for automatic and unique registration of clients is
      needed. The OAuth2 authorization framework does not define how the
      relationship between the Client and the Authorization Server is
      initialized, or how a given client is assigned a unique Client
      Identifier. Historically, this has happened out-of-band from the OAuth
      protocol. This draft provides a mechanism for a client to register
      itself with the Authorization Server, which can be used to dynamically
      provision a Client Identifier, and optionally a Client Secret.</t>

      <t>As part of the registration process, this specification also defines
      a mechanism for the client to present the Authorization Server with a
      set of meta information, such as a display name and icon to be presented
      to the user during the authorization step. This draft provides a method
      for the client to register and update this information over time.</t>

      <section title="Notational Conventions">
        <t>The key words 'MUST', 'MUST NOT', 'REQUIRED', 'SHALL', 'SHALL NOT',
        'SHOULD', 'SHOULD NOT', 'RECOMMENDED', 'MAY', and 'OPTIONAL' in this
        document are to be interpreted as described in <xref
        target="RFC2119"></xref>.</t>

        <t>Unless otherwise noted, all the protocol parameter names and values
        are case sensitive.</t>
      </section>

      <section anchor="terminology" title="Terminology">
        <t>This specification uses the terms "Access Token", "Refresh Token",
        "Authorization Code", "Authorization Grant", "Authorization Server",
        "Authorization Endpoint", "Client", "Client Identifier", "Client
        Secret", "Protected Resource", "Resource Owner", "Resource Server",
        and "Token Endpoint" defined by <xref target="OAuth2.0">OAuth
        2.0</xref>.</t>

        <t>This specification defines the following additional terms:</t>

        <t><list style="symbols">
            <t>Client Registration Endpoint: The OAuth 2.0 Endpoint through
            which a Client can request new registration and manage the
            metadata associated with it.</t>

            <t>Registration Access Token: An OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token issued by
            the Authorization Server through the Client Registration Endpoint
            which is used by the Client to authenticate itself during update
            and secret rotation operations.</t>
          </list></t>
      </section>

      <section title="Requirements">
        <t>[[ Following are proposed requirements for dynamic client
        registration. This section is intended for discussion and will likely
        be removed in the final draft. ]]</t>

        <section title="The client needs to be uniquely identifiable by the authorization server">
          <t>In order for an authorization server to do proper user-delegated
          authorization and prevent unauthorized access it must be able to
          identify clients uniquely. As is done today in OAuth, the client
          identifier (and optional secret) should thus be issued by the
          authorization server and not simply accepted as proposed by the
          client.</t>
        </section>

        <section title="The authorization server must collect metadata about a client for later user interaction">
          <t>In order for the authorization server to describe a client to an
          end-user in an authorization step it needs information about the
          client. This can be the client name at a minimum, but today servers
          usually request at least a description, a homepage URL, and an icon
          when doing manual registration.</t>
        </section>

        <section title="The authorization server should have the option of strongly authenticating the client and its metadata">
          <t>In order to prevent spoofing of clients and enable dynamic
          building of strong trust relationships, the authorization server
          should have the option to verify the provided information. This
          might be solved using message signature verification.</t>
        </section>

        <section title="Dynamic client registration must be possible from both web-server applications and applications with other capabilities and limitations, such as native applications">
          <t>Each instance of a native application (that is, the specific
          instance running on each device) that is installed and run by the
          same user may need the option of getting a unique client identifier.
          In this case, there are implications around gathering and displaying
          enough information to ensure that the end-user is delegating
          authorization to the intended application. The registration protocol
          should be simple and flexible enough to allow for multiple types of
          applications.</t>
        </section>

        <section title="Transaction integrity must be ensured">
          <t>When a client sends information to a server endpoint, it might
          take time for this data to propagate through big server
          installations that spread across various data centers. Care needs to
          be taken that subsequent interactions with the user after the
          registration process, such as an authorization request, show the
          correct data.</t>
        </section>
      </section>
    </section>

    <section title="Client Registration Endpoint">
      <t>The Client Registration Endpoint is an OAuth 2.0 Endpoint defined in
      this document that is designed to allow a Client to register itself with
      the Authorization Server. The Client Registration Endpoint MUST accept
      HTTP POST messages with request parameters encoded in the entity body
      using the <spanx style="verb">application/x-www-form-urlencoded</spanx>
      format. The Client Registration Endpoint MUST be protected by a
      transport-layer security mechanism when sending requests to the
      Registration Endpoint. The server MUST support TLS 1.2 <xref
      target="RFC5246">RFC 5246</xref> and/or TLS 1.0 <xref
      target="RFC2246"></xref> and MAY support additional transport-layer
      mechanisms meeting its security requirements. When using TLS, the Client
      MUST perform a TLS/SSL server certificate check, per <xref
      target="RFC6125">RFC 6125</xref>.</t>

      <t>The Endpoint defines three operations that a client can take on it,
      switched by the "operation" parameter:</t>

      <t><list style="symbols">
          <t>client_associate: generate a new Client Identifier (and
          optionally a Client Secret) and associate it with the set of
          presented <xref target="client-metadata">metadata</xref></t>

          <t>client_update: update the <xref
          target="client-metadata">metadata</xref> associated with a Client
          Identifier</t>

          <t>rotate_secret: issue a new Registration Access Token and, if
          applicable, a Client Secret for a Client</t>
        </list></t>

      <t>In order to facilitate registered clients updating their information,
      the Client Registration Endpoint issues a request_access_token for
      clients to securely identify themselves in future connections. As such,
      the Endpoint MUST accept requests with <xref target="OAuth.Bearer">OAuth
      2.0 Bearer Tokens</xref> for these operations. </t>

      <t>In order to support open registration and facilitate wider
      interoperability, the Client Registration Endpoint SHOULD allow
      client_associate requests with no further authentication. These requests
      MAY be rate-limited to prevent a denial-of-service attack on the Client
      Registration Endpoint.</t>

      <t>In addition, the Client Registration Endpoint MAY accept an initial
      authorization credential in the form of an <xref target="OAuth2.0">OAuth
      2.0 </xref> access token in order to limit registration to only
      previously authorized parties. The method by which this access token is
      obtained by the registrant is generally out-of-band and is out of scope
      of this specification.</t>

      <t>These two aspects, operation selection and client authentication, are
      represented by two parameters common to all operations:</t>

      <t><list style="hanging">
          <t hangText="operation">REQUIRED. Values are <spanx style="verb">client_associate</spanx>
          (for new registrations), <spanx style="verb">rotate_secret</spanx>
          to request rotation of the <spanx style="verb">client_secret</spanx>,
          and <spanx style="verb">client_update</spanx> (for updating
          parameters of an existing <spanx style="verb">client_id</spanx>).</t>

          <t hangText="access_token">OPTIONAL. An OAuth2 Bearer token used to
          access the Client Registration Endpoint, as defined in OAuth2
          Bearer. This parameter MUST NOT be sent if the Access Token is sent
          in the HTTP Authorization header as described in Section 7.1 of
          <xref target="OAuth2.0">OAuth 2.0</xref>. Access Tokens sent in the
          authorization header must be <xref target="OAuth.Bearer">OAuth 2.0
          Bearer Tokens</xref>.</t>
        </list>Each operation takes a different parameter set, and all
      operations are described below.</t>

      <t>The Client Registration Endpoint MUST ignore all parameters it does
      not understand.</t>

      <section title="Client Association Request">
        <t>This operation registers a new client to the Authorization Server.
        The Authorization Server assigns this client a unique Client
        Identifier, optionally assigns a Client Secret, and associates the
        metadata given in the request with the issued Client Identifier. The
        request includes the two parameters described above as well as any
        parameters described in <xref target="client-metadata">Client
        Metadata</xref>.</t>

        <t><list style="hanging">
            <t hangText="operation">REQUIRED, MUST have the value <spanx

      <t>[[ Editor's note: Following are some security considerations taken
      whole from the UMA and OpenID Connect source drafts. ]] <list
          style="symbols">
          <t>No client authentication: The server should treat unsigned pushed
          client metadata as self-asserted.</t>

          <t>Weak client authentication: The server should treat unsigned
          pulled client metadata as self-asserted unless the domain of the
          client matches the client metadata URL and the URL is well-known and
          trusted.</t>

          <t>Strong client authentication: The server should treat signed
          client metadata (pushed or pulled) and a signed metadata URL as
          self-asserted unless it can verify the signature as being from a
          trusted source.</t>
        </list></t>

      <t>Since requests to the Client Registration Endpoint result in the
      transmission of clear-text credentials (in the HTTP request and
      response), the server MUST require the use of a transport-layer security
      mechanism when sending requests to the Registration Endpoint. The server
      MUST support TLS 1.2 <xref target="RFC5246">RFC 5246</xref> and/or TLS
      1.0 <xref target="RFC2246"></xref> and MAY support additional
      transport-layer mechanisms meeting its security requirements. When using
      TLS, the Client MUST perform a TLS/SSL server certificate check, per
      <xref target="RFC6125">RFC 6125</xref>.</t>

      <t>Requests to the Registration Endpoint for <spanx style="verb">client_update</spanx>
      MUST have some rate limiting on failures to prevent the Client secret
      from being disclosed though repeated access attempts.</t>

      <t>A rogue RP might use the logo for the legitimate RP, which it is
      trying to impersonate. An IdP needs to take steps to mitigate this
      phishing risk, since the logo could confuse users into thinking they're
      logging in to the legitimate RP. An IdP could also warn if the
      domain/site of the logo doesn't match the domain/site of redirect URIs.
      An IdP can also make warnings against untrusted RPs in all cases,
      especially if they're dynamically registered, have not been trusted by
      any users at the IdP before, and want to use the logo feature.</t>

      <t>In a situation where the Authorization Server is supporting open
      Client registration, it must be extremely careful with any URL provided
      by the Client that will be displayed to the user (e.g. <spanx
      style="verb">logo_url</spanx> and <spanx style="verb">policy_url</spanx>).
      A rogue Client could specify a registration request with a reference to
      a drive-by download in the <spanx style="verb">policy_url</spanx>. The
      Authorization Server should check to see if the <spanx style="verb">logo_url</spanx>
      and <spanx style="verb">policy_url</spanx> have the same host as the
      hosts defined in the array of <spanx style="verb">redirect_uris</spanx>.</t>
