If a client developer doesn't have Connect available then they need to point the API developer at this doc, so that they do provide Connect or some other API that takes into account all of the security considerations.
A client developer should never make up there own identity protocol out of someone else's API that is not designed for it. A vanilla OAuth API with no additional security considerations on the API developers part is pretty much guaranteed to go horribly wrong. John B.
