## Public clients
Public clients are inspired by Google's [_"Installed Applications"_][installed-apps] and are meant to impose restrictions on applications that don't intend to keep their client secret private. Clients can be declared as public using the `public` config option.
```yaml
staticClients:
-id:cli-app
public:true
name:'CLIapp'
secret:cli-app-secret
```
Instead of traditional redirect URIs, public clients are limited to either redirects that begin with "http://localhost" or a special "out-of-browser" URL "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob". The latter triggers dex to display the OAuth2 code in the browser, prompting the end user to manually copy it to their app. It's the client's responsibility to either create a screen or a prompt to receive the code, then perform a code exchange for a token response.
When using the "out-of-browser" flow, an ID Token nonce is strongly recommended.
