In a password grant use case two OAuth clients are registered with SSO. The first client may be a "native application" presenting user interfaces to the end-user. The first client may also for example be a simple command-line client or other backend application in a server-to-server integration scenario. The second client is usually a web service or resource server providing API services to the first client.

The first client wants to get an access token for calling the resource server API services. The resource server validates the access token it receives by calling the tokeninfo service. The tokeninfo service returns claims and attributes describing the authenticated user.
