Client Does Not Exist Error Message

Question

Hello,

I am trying to authenticate with OAuth2. I get the error message "The client does not exist. If you are the client application developer, configure a new application through the application management site at https://manage.dev.live.com/".

Two questions?

1 - What can be causing this? I double checked, and the client id is correct

2 - I haven't registered a domain name associated with the application, because this is just for tests, and I am running it locally (http://localhost), which it does not accept. Can it be related with this?

Thanks again,

RP

Hi Ricardo, I'm pretty sure you're getting the error because you're trying to use "localhost" instead of registering a domain.  You should register a domain on manage.dev.live.com and have the HOSTS file on your development machine resolve that domain to your local server.
