Hi Hannes,

Thanks for your reply.
Actually I am new to OAuth and am simply trying to search for the best
industrial practice for granting access tokens when the client to our
application API is a simple windows applications, which in most cases runs
on PC's with web browser installed.
Therefore the scenario doesn't quite match what is described in the
document, as the user doesn't need a separate machine to perform the
verification; it's just that the client application doesn't have internet
browsing capability itself (in this sense it's similar to the "device"
described in this document, though not quite) and so user needs to launch a
separate browser application.
I ended up on this device profile spec just because it seems to match
closer to our scenario when compared to the 4 cases described in the OAuth
2 spec, but it could be the case that I didn't understand it fully.
Maybe I should rephrase my question: could someone please advice what
should be the best practice for granting OAuth tokens to clients which are
native windows applications?

Thanks.
Vincent
