Re: [OAUTH-WG] Change grant_type="none" to something less confusing

Facebook does need to implement this - formerly the "client_cred" flow. We need apps to be able to interact directly with the service without a user involved.

As far as consistency, it is just a little weird to call it "client password" in one part of the spec, when it's defined as "client secret" elsewhere. We wouldn't call it the "client secret" flow because the client secret is used in other flows; I think the same argument applies to the term "client password".

How about just "client_only" ? Eran, I don't think I understand the other use cases you're talking about.
