I answered some of this in my reply to Tony already, but from my perspective it boils down to SCIM not really being that great of a fit for this kind of use. It makes very different assumptions about who's undertaking all of the actions, and those assumptions (which are completely valid assumptions, mind you) are baked into what the spec does and how it works. From what I understand of how SCIM works, you'd have to jump through some interesting hoops to get to the self-managed registration using SCIM as it's defined today, or even as it could be defined. There are profiles of using SCIM to transfer information about registered clients between AS's in different security domains (or different instances), but that's not dynamic registration. Someone can feel free to correct me if I'm completely off the rails here. (Won't be the first time. :) )

I say let's just keep letting SCIM be good at what it's good at and not try to squish it into something it's not.

Let's make a new thread for this.  It is worth some discussion.

We have some strong cases for this, and I do think dyn reg involves some credential management issues that SCIM doesn't yet handle.

I think Justin is planning to make these aspects more clear in the draft.

So, I really don’t understand why dynamic registration is in scope, I understand this relative to OpenID Connect but not OAuth, if this is indeed in scope then I would have expected that the endpoint be based upon SCIM and not something else like what has been done here.

Tony, can you be more specific? What needs to be changed in your opinion? What text changes would you suggest?

            The issue is that new developers can't figure out what
            token is being referred to.

                Phil Hunt's review of the Dynamic Registration
                specification has raised a couple of issues that I
                felt were getting buried by the larger discussion
                (which I still strongly encourage others to jump in
                to). Namely, Phil has suggested a couple of syntax
                changes to the names of several parameters.


                1) expires_at -> client_secret_expires_at
                2) issued_at -> client_id_issued_at
                3) token_endpoint_auth_method ->
                token_endpoint_client_auth_method


                I'd like to get a feeling,*especially from
                developers*who have deployed this draft spec, what we
                ought to do for each of these:

                 A) Keep the parameter names as-is
                 B) Adopt the new names as above
                 C) Adopt a new name that I will specify

                In all cases, clarifying text will be added to the
                parameter *definitions* so that it's more clear to
                people reading the spec what each piece does.
                Speaking as the editor: "A" is the default as far as
                I'm concerned, since we shouldn't change syntax
                without very good reason to do so. That said, if it's
                going to be better for developers with the new
                parameter names, I am open to fixing them now.

                Naming things is hard.
