Hi, I want to use gluu server for authentication but the application for which I want to use gluu as authentication provider does not support SAML, it supports only Oauth2 protocol. Can you please let me know how to use gluu server as client in this case?

You can start using OpenID Connect of Gluu Server. Feel free to take a look at [doc](https://gluu.org/docs/integrate/openid-connect/). Picture is same as SAML: - Configure your application ( aka. RP / Resource Provider ). - Connect RP with Gluu Server's OpenID Client - SSO.

Hi Mohib, I am not able to get client id and client secrete for the appllication. The application for which I want to perform SSO is pentaho reporting engine and odoo 9.

You need to register your client in Gluu Server; [Client Registration](https://gluu.org/docs/integrate/openid-connect/#client-registration)

Hi Mohib, I got your point but for registering client I will require client id and client secret. From where should I generate these values?

Gauri, You will get values of clientID after registering your website/portal in Gluu Server. 'registering client' is another side of coin of doing Trust Relationship for SAML. For OpenID Connect setup, you need to perform this client registration. You can register your client ( aka. RP / website / portal )in Gluu Server either using dynamic registration or manual registration. Check [this](https://gluu.org/docs/integrate/ubuntu-installation/) documentation...here we are showing how you can 'register' your RP with Gluu Server.
