How Does the Client Authenticate?

This flow is reliant upon the client being able to properly authenticate with the authorization server and the client’s authentication credentials remaining confidential. In order to authenticate, the client can pass the client_id and client_secret to the authorization server as POST parameters in the access token request or can use a HTTP Basic Authentication header. The authorization server can also authenticate the client using other mechanisms, such as a public/private key pair, SSL/TLS client authentication, and the like.
