What value is usually provided to client_id field in RegisteredClient objects in production? The first thought that comes to my mind is to just use unique integers for each client. But is it really a legitimate approach?..
The client_id
is essentially a unique and a public identifier for OAuth Apps. Even though it's a public identifier, it's best that it shouldn't be guessable by any 3rd parties. Different vendors use different conventions to generate client_id
s and the most common practise is to have a 32 character alpha-numeric string. You can read about different conventions here. In most cases, a UUID would be enough for a client_id
given that you do not have any special requirements.
