OAuth API Requests with Client Identifier and Secret
OAuth API requests such as Access Token Request at Authorization code grant and web single sign-on and Token Introspection at Authorization code grant and native applications require client_id and client_secret as input.
The client_id and client_secret parameters are either encoded as http basic authorization header or alternatively given as form or query parameters. With SSO the recommended method is http basic authorization header.
The http basic authorization mechanism is defined in http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617#section-2.
