28 -== Creating your OpenID Connect client ==
29 -
30 -The steps to create an OpenID Connect client are the following:
31 -
32 -* get an access token from the `developer` client
33 -* use the token to call the create endpoint
34 -* save your registration access token for further modifications of your client
35 -
36 -=== Fetching your developer access token ===
37 -
38 -In order to get your developer token, you need to authenticate against the developer client with the password grant.
39 -
40 -This can be achieved with this sample bash script:
41 -
42 -{{code language="bash"}}
43 -# Gather username and password from user
44 -echo '\nEnter your username' && read clb_dev_username &&
45 -echo '\nEnter your password' && read -s clb_dev_pwd &&
46 -
47 -# Fetch the token
48 -curl -X POST https://iam.humanbrainproject.eu/auth/realms/hbp/protocol/openid-connect/token \
49 - -u developer: \
50 - -d 'grant_type=password' \
51 - -d "username=${clb_dev_username}" \
52 - -d "password=${clb_dev_pwd}" |
53 -
54 -# Prettify the JSON response
55 -json_pp;
56 -
57 -# Erase the credentials from local variables
58 -clb_dev_pwd='';clb_dev_username=''
59 -{{/code}}
60 -
61 -The response will be similar to:
62 -
63 -{{code language="json"}}
64 -{
65 - "access_token": "eyJhbGci...",
66 - "expires_in": 108000,
67 - "refresh_expires_in": 14400,

72 - "scope": ""
73 -}
74 -{{/code}}

76 -Copy the "access_token" value, it is the one that will be needed for the next step.
77 -
78 -=== Creating the client ===
79 -
80 -Clients can be created by sending a JSON representation to a specific endpoint:
81 -
82 -{{code language="bash"}}
83 -# Set your developer token
84 -clb_dev_token=...
85 -
86 -# Send the creation request
87 -curl -X POST https://iam.humanbrainproject.eu/auth/realms/hbp/clients-registrations/default/ \
