Hi All

I'm having a discussion with my colleagues on the pros and cons of sharing a client_id.

For example, say we have N number of public mobile applications (the same application package, an application instance on an individual phone), and one approach is for each of these applications to have the same client_id.

I've been trying to analyze why it can be bad and the only thing I can come up with is that there will be no (easy) way to track which application instance actually accessed a given RS.

Can someone please explain what the pros and cons are of having the same client_id shared between public client applications.

And what about multiple confidential clients being set up with the same id/secret. I suspect it is a bad idea but what is main line why it is a bad idea, lets say it is all done in the protected network, no chance of the bad clients interfering...



Thanks, Sergey
