--In order to create an OIDC client, see [[1.

After creating the OIDC client, you have a corresponding access token and secret.
++You had been creating an OIDC client following our guide [[https:~~/~~/wiki.ebrains.eu/bin/view/Collabs/collaboratory-community-apps/Community%20App%20Developer%20Guide/Registering%20an%20OIDC%20client/>>https://wiki.ebrains.eu/bin/view/Collabs/collaboratory-community-apps/Community%20App%20Developer%20Guide/Registering%20an%20OIDC%20client/]]
--For the example below, we consider the case of someone wanting to provide access to https:~/~/www.getpostman.com as an app for Collaboratory users to access from their collabs. You should replace that URL by the one of your own app.
++The redirect_uri is set with the url of your application, in this exemple we will use postman, a platform for api developement, use your own application, for exemple when you loggin to this wiki, the redirect uri is [[https:~~/~~/wiki.ebrains.eu/*>>https://wiki.ebrains.eu/*]]
--The redirect_uri is set with the URL of your application to which your users will be redirected after having been authenticated by their EBRAINS account. For example when you login to this wiki, the redirect URI is [[https:~~/~~/wiki.ebrains.eu/*>>https://wiki.ebrains.eu/*]]
++The client is confidential with a secret, you obtain it throught the registering oidc client tutorial above.

  == Authentication flow ==
--=== Authorization Code Request ===

++The first step of the authentication protocol is to fetch an **authorization code **for your client and your user
  ==== Request ====
--The authorization **code **is fetched by an HTTP request:

--The **scope** parameter can include a combination of several values. Each user will be asked to consent to sharing that scope with your app upon first access.
++Of course replace **client_id** and **redirect_uri** with your own configuration
--* **openid: **This scope is required because we use the OIDC protocol. It will give your app access to the user's basic information such as username, email and full name.
--* **group **(optional)**: **If you request this scope, the future access token generated will authorize your app to identify which units and groups the user belongs to.
--* **team **(optional)**: **This scope is like the group scope lets your app identify the permissions of the user, but by identifying what collabs the user has access to and with what roles.
++This will redirect you to the login page of **iam **where your user must enter they username/password

--The group and team scopes are a simple way for your app to grant permissions to its services and resources when you want to grant access to a very few units, groups, or collab teams. For more complex permission management, contact support.

++==== Scope ====
++In the request you can see a **scope** **parameter**
++
++* **openid : **This scope is required in oidc, it contains basic information of the user such as it username, email and full name.
++* **group **( optional ) **: **This scope is provided by our service, if you add it to your authorization code grant request, the futur access token generated will be able to read which units and groups the logged user belongs, it can be very important for your application. You can notice on the screenshot in the abstract section that **Consent required **is **on, **it means that at loggin time, the user will be asked if he allow your application to access there unit and group membership
++* **team **( optional ) **: **Very same than group, but for collab, with this scope your application will know in which collab the authenticated user belong
++
  ==== Response ====
--Once the user has logged in, your app gets an HTTP 301 redirection followed by an HTTP 200 success response with an authorization **code** inside. A typical response might look like:
