API for registering clients

[jaadds]

Hi,
I was able to get apis-authorization-server-war running, and could register clients through UI after logging into the App. However I'd like to know if the Authorization Server provides an API similar to Dynamic Client Registration endpoint mentioned in https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-registration-1_0.html?
I'm looking for a wat to register a client through a curl command.

Hi Amila,

No, at the moment there is no spec-backed client registration.
The API for registering clients is proper REST with OAuth protection though, so you should be able to construct a cURL-command I would say.

Start with having Chrome's inspection window open while creating a client through the web interface, and then right-click the corresponding POST-request and then click 'Copy as cURL'. This will give you an idea how to script it...

I was able to find the endpoint and format of the Payload by inspecting requests sent by UI.
Now I'm trying a different thing. I registered a resource server, and then created a client under it. Using the created client, I can obtain tokens that has lifetime of several days. My intention is to use such a token to call admin APIs (specifically the API for creating clients). But when I invoke client registering API, I'm getting this error
"Access to the specified resource has been forbidden."
Is there a way to call admin APIs, using a token obtained using an arbitrary client ?

You cannot use a token (that is issued to a certain client for a certain
resource server) for a request to an arbitrary resource server.
The relation between tokens, clients and servers is all 'one to many',
there is no 'many to many' anywhere: a token belongs to only one client, a
client only belongs to one resource server.

Does this answer your question?

Kind regards,
Geert
