Clients

What are clients

Clients are applications that share the same security context and interface with an "authorization server" (issuer of access tokens).

For example you could have a software project existing out of a web app and a mobile app, both of these applications might consume the same roles because the end user might use both of them.

Typical types of applications are:

  • Web
  • User Agent (Single-Page-Application)
  • Native

Check out our Integration Guide for more information.

Manage clients

Clients might use different protocols for integrating with an IAM. With ZITADEL it is possible to use OpenID Connect 1.0 / OAuth 2.0. In the future SAML 2.0 support is planned as well.

Create a client

To make configuration of a client easy we provide a wizard which generates a specification conferment setup. The wizard can be skipped for people who are needing special settings.

For use cases where your configuration is not compliant we provide you a "dev mode" which disables conformance checks.

To create a new client start by browsing to your project, this is normally something like https://console.zitadel.ch/projects/78562301657017889
