Right.  I have no idea what client registration has to do with “onboarding”, 
but I use that term for the initial integration of a device into a network only.

I continue to believe that we need a clear understanding of what information is 
exchanged during client registration that is relevant to the ACE OAuth.  There 
definitely will also be other information (“business logic”, and you can call 
the exchange of that part of the registration info “onboarding” if you like), 
and that is where the vendor differentiation can set in, but we should have no 
trouble defining the ACE content of client registration.  

If we don’t define that ACE content, there is no way to know whether ACE OAuth 
is secure.

Defining the ACE content of the client registration as a set of data structures 
also helps with achieving actual interoperability, even if additional business 
logic is required in a specific case.

Grüße, Carsten
