Creating a public OAuth 2.0 client​

You can create a public OAuth 2.0 Client (for example for the authorize code + PKCE or implicit flow) with the CLI

hydra clients create --endpoint http://ory-hydra-admin-api --token-endpoint-auth-method none

or by setting in the HTTP API JSON body when POSTing to /clients:

{
  "client_id": "...",
  "token_endpoint_auth_method": "none"
}

Be aware that when making requests to /oauth2/token or /oauth2/revoke with a public OAuth 2.0 Client, you can't authenticate with the HTTP Basic Authorization but must include the client_id in the POST body:

POST /oauth2/token
...

client_id=...&
  ...
note

The public clients using a non-https redirect scheme can't skip consent as per OpenID Specification & Certification.
