Description

This issue brings in several related issues, including #199, #95, #202 and #201, reframing the issue as the following:

The Solid-OIDC specification currently makes use of globally unique client_id values, formatted as URLs that dereference to a Client Identifier Document (as defined by Solid-OIDC). A very similar mechanism is defined by the (draft) OpenID Connect Federation specification.

This issue is here to discuss the proposal (edited to incorporate https://github.com/solid/solid-oidc/issues/207#issuecomment-1301065781):

The Solid-OIDC specification should drop the current definition of Client Identifiers and associated JSON-LD appendix in favor of adopting the OpenID Connect Federation definition of an Entity Identifier and Automatic Registration

Research direction

Start by reading the Solid-OIDC Client Identifiers section and its JSON-LD appendix, then compare them with the linked OpenID Connect Federation Entity Identifier and Automatic Registration sections. Review related issues #199, #95, #202 and #201 and the discussion before determining the specification changes needed; done requires a decided proposal and corresponding specification update.
