What exactly is quarkus.oidc.client-id?

[gefloh]

Hi,

can anyone explain to me what exactly the OIDC parameter quarkus.oidc.client-id means in Quarkus?

• Javadoc: "The client-id of the application. Each application has a client-id that is used to identify the application"
• Quarkus guide: "quarkus.oidc.client-id sets a client-ID that identifies the application."

Ok, but where is this actually used? In my application (which uses OIDC Bearer Auth) I can even remove this parameter completely and everything is still working fine. Or is this only relevant for the authorization code flow (which I am not using)?

Thanks,
Gerhard

Silly me, there is even a whole paragraph about it here.

Sometimes it's a bit difficult to keep track because there are so many guides in the OIDC area (which is of course much appreciated on the other side).
