what is client type in Oauth 2.0?

[Ganeshm1]

Hi All,

Hope you are doing well. 

I am working on inbound integration and while creating a Application Registry of 'Create an OAuth API endpoint for external clients', observed that we have a field called 'Client Type' with options below

1. Iframe embedded

2. Integration as a User

3. Integration as a Service

I want to understand whats the use of Client Type and is this mandatory to choose any one of these options during creation of application registry?

Please let me know if you have any idea on this. Thank You!

Best Regards,
Ganesh

Since ServiceNow is the provider and 3rd party is consumer, you will create an OAuth API endpoint for external clients.

It's not mandatory for me on form.

Good explanation here

Configure client type for OAuth and SSO records

It is optional configuration, you can leave it empty.

Going forward, you need to create inbound OAuth from inbound integration experience. Below are the details,
