Re: [OAUTH-WG] Call for Adoption: OAuth 2.0 Discovery

I thought about this when doing the SCIM discovery document. Initially I only had cases for plain ./well-known.  But I found there are two types of clients. I decided later that mobile and web apps have different needs.

E.g. a mobile app might ask anonymously or on behalf of an already authenticated subject.  ./well-known works fine.

A web app that works on behalf of multiple users (e.g. is an OIDC client), might find that the answer varies based on the user acnt it wants to ask on behalf of.  The webfinger?rel=oauth&acnt:<someid> model works much better.

While the mechanics of discovery is the same, I believe some clients will want to distinguish between OAuth AS’s and OIDC OPs.  Further, I would expect over time that different discovery features may be required. Locking them together seems like a pre-mature or rush choice.
