Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “The client application (a public client specifically, since a confidential client must specify the client_secret parameter too) requests an access token from the /token endpoint by sending the authorization code.”

A block of code is set as follows:

GET /authorize?
response_type=code
&client_id=s6BhdRkqt3
&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fclient.example.org%2Fcb
&scope=openid%20resource_server_id 

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

POST /token HTTP/1.1
Host: authzserver.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Authorization: Basic czZCaGRSa3F0MzpnWDFmQmF0M2JW 

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “Select System info from the Administration panel.”
