Hi all, at the IETF#83 OAuth working group meeting we had some confusion about the Dynamic Client Registration and the Simple Web Discovery item. I just listened to the audio recording again.
With the ongoing mailing list discussion regarding WebFinger vs. Simple Web Discovery I hope that folks had a chance to look at the documents again and so the confusion of some got resolved. I believe the proposed new charter item is sufficiently clear with regard to the scope of the work. Right? Here is the item again: " Jul. 2013 Submit 'OAuth Dynamic Client Registration Protocol' to the IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard [Starting point for the work will be http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hardjono-oauth-dynreg ] " Of course there there is a relationship between Simple Web Discovery (or WebFinger) and the dynamic client registration since the client first needs to discover the client registration endpoint at the authorization server before interacting with it. Now, one thing that just came to my mind when looking again at draft-hardjono-oauth-dynreq was the following: Could the Client Registration Request and Response protocol exchange could become a profile of the SCIM protocol? In some sense this exchange is nothing else than provisioning an account at the Authorization Server (along with some meta-data). Is this too far fetched?
