Overview of Registering OAuth Clients

An OAuth client can be confidential or public. A confidential client is an application that’s capable of keeping a client password confidential to the world, whereas a public client doesn’t keep a client password confidential. A confidential client can be trusted or untrusted. OAuth clients, either trusted or untrusted, can be registered using the OAuth Administration page.
