Dynamic client registration

As explained in Software Security for Developers

Dynamic client registration is an OpenID Connect capability that lets clients register with an identity provider programmatically.

Dynamic client registration lets tenants register their own client applications with an identity provider, reducing manual setup as a multitenant system grows. section 13.4

A multitenant deployment

An application serving MegaMart and Trendy Threads can support tenant-specific client registrations while keeping identity data, configuration, policies, endpoints, and sessions isolated. section 13.4

Use the capability alongside:

  • Tenant-specific authorization endpoints for separate authentication flows. section 13.4
  • Tenant-aware claims and scopes for distinguishing users and permissions. section 13.4

How Software Security for Developers covers it

What you can do after
Understand how tenant-managed client registration reduces manual setup in a multitenant identity architecture.
How it connects
