Integration
If contributing an application to this application ecosystem, or if developing a client, use this area to define any API resources you want to protect, and the client specifications needed. Some features may need administrator approval.
A client is an application that wants to use Identity Server to provide authentication. Using Gameboard as an example: when logging into Gameboard, Gameboard is a client asking Identity to provide authentication services. A resource is protected information or functionality that an application exposes to authenticated users. Gameboard uses a resource to expose a user profile to it (Gameboard).
In keeping with our Gameboard example:
There may be a gameboard-api resource requesting access to the gameboard-api (the Scope). See screen print 1 below.
There would also be a corresponding client for Gameboard. This is what the Gameboard application uses when identifying itself to the Identity server. See screen print 2 below. The OpenID Identifier gameboard-code authenticates to the Identity server. Scopes asks for access to openid, the user's profile, and access to the gameboard-api resource.
When Client Enabled is checked by an Admin, the client (application) is available as a URL on the Home tab.
