Question: non-web based clients?

[rezagh]

is it possible to have a dex client that is not web based? i.e.b2b scenarios where an applications wants to get a ID token via dex which is connected to LDAP?

In the case you are referring to a native application it depends if you have access to a web browser. If you do, your application starts a local web server and then initiates an authorization flow with a redirect_url to the local web server. You can then exchange the code you receive for an access token.

Thanks; so if the application has no access to a web browser (a backend code making an api call to another backend service) the answer i assume would be no?

Sounds like you want the password grant flow: open ticket #926
or client credentials flow: #764 ?

Support for the password grant flow was added in #1621.

@candlerb I am after client credentials b2b flow.
