Fixes #35. Investigating the quickstart login failure showed the empty `scope` this module sends is not the bug: Simple OAuth 6 rejects every authorization request - with or without a scope parameter - when no OAuth2 scope exists that the request can resolve, and it ships without any. With a scope created and set as the consumer's authorization code scopes default, the empty `scope=` this module sends is accepted as is, so no code change is needed here. The README now covers what Simple OAuth 6 actually requires: creating a scope, the consumer's Client ID field (lookups use it, not the UUID), and the grant types and scope defaults on the consumer - each of which fails login in its own way when missing. The example also moves the module from buildModules to modules: buildModules are not loaded by `nuxt start`, so the authentication endpoints and proxy this module registers silently vanish in production while the dev server looks fine.

Drupal Simple OAuth issue 3167287 consumer client_id field UUID lookup Simple OAuth 6
💡 Result:
Drupal Simple OAuth issue 3167287, titled Always load clients through the ClientRepository service, was an issue addressed in the Simple OAuth module to centralize and standardize how client entities are retrieved [1][2][3]. The primary focus of this issue was to ensure that the module consistently uses the ClientRepository service for loading client information, rather than relying on direct entity queries in controllers or other parts of the code [1][4][3]. A common point of confusion related to this, as documented in community support forums, is the distinction between a Consumer entity's UUID and the client_id field [5]. When developers encounter 401 "invalid_client" errors, it is frequently because they are using the entity UUID (the unique identifier of the Consumer entity in Drupal) as the client_id in their OAuth requests [5]. However, the Simple OAuth module uses the specific value defined in the client_id field of the Consumer entity [5]. Even after structural improvements like issue 3167287 were implemented, it remains critical to verify the actual value stored in the client_id field of your consumer configuration to ensure successful authentication [5]. This change was included in the 5.2.x branch and carried forward into the 6.0.x release cycle [1][4][6].

Drupal Simple OAuth 6 consumer Client ID field documentation
💡 Result:
In the Drupal Simple OAuth module ecosystem, the "Client ID" used for OAuth 2.0 flows is historically and primarily the UUID of the Consumer entity [1][2][3]. Key points regarding the Client ID in Simple OAuth: 1. Traditional Usage (UUID): Historically, the Simple OAuth module relies on the Consumers module to define client applications [1]. By default, the unique identifier (client_id) required for OAuth requests is the UUID generated for the consumer entity upon creation [2][4][3]. You can locate this UUID in the Drupal administrative interface by navigating to Configuration » Services » Consumers (admin/config/services/consumer) and viewing the UUID column [2][3]. 2. Evolution (Explicit Client ID Field): To address limitations with using UUIDs—such as challenges with self-hosted environments or specific registration requirements—an update was introduced to the Consumers module to include an optional, explicit 'client_id' base field [5]. This allows administrators to set a human-readable or custom identifier for a consumer, rather than relying solely on the system-generated UUID [5]. 3. How to use it: - For versions using the UUID: In your OAuth 2.0 requests (e.g., when requesting an access token), use the consumer's UUID as the client_id parameter [2]. - If using a newer version of the Consumers module: Check your consumer configuration form at admin/config/services/consumer. If the 'client_id' field is present and populated, that value should be used as the client_id in your requests instead of the UUID [5]. When making requests, the client_id is typically passed as a body parameter (for form-data requests) alongside the client_secret, which corresponds to the "Secret" field configured on the consumer entity [2].

site:drupal.org/project/simple_oauth/releases/6.0.0 Simple OAuth 6 client_id UUID Consumer
💡 Result:
There is no official OAuth 6 specification; OAuth 2.0 is the current industry standard [1]. The term you are referencing likely pertains to version 6.x of the Simple OAuth module for Drupal [1]. In the context of the Drupal Simple OAuth module, the client_id is typically managed as a configuration entity. While OAuth 2.0 does not strictly mandate that a client_id be a UUID, Drupal frequently uses UUIDs for internal entity identification. If you are configuring a consumer or client in this module, you should follow the specific requirements provided by the module's administrative interface or documentation, as the client_id is the unique identifier used to represent your application within that system [1].

site:git.drupalcode.org/project/simple_oauth 6.x ClientRepository client_id UUID Consumer
💡 Result:
In the context of the Drupal Simple OAuth module (which has 6.x versions), the ClientRepository and Consumer entities are closely integrated components [1][2][3]. Specifically, the module utilizes a ClientRepository service to load client applications, which are often managed via the Consumers module [4][2][5]. In recent versions, including the 6.x branch, a dedicated authorization server service was introduced alongside an updated data model that relies on Consumer entities to represent OAuth clients [1][6]. These clients typically use a UUID as their unique identifier [2]. Documentation for the module directs users to manage these consumer applications at the path /admin/config/services/consumer/add [2].

site:drupal.org/project/simple_oauth/issues/3167287 "client_id" UUID
💡 Result:
A client_id is a unique identifier assigned to a client application to identify it to an authorization server or system. There is no industry-wide requirement or standard that mandates a client_id must be a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier). While using a UUID is a common practice due to its ability to generate globally unique identifiers without central coordination, the format of a client_id is defined by the specific requirements and implementation of the authorization server or API service being used. Developers should consult the documentation of the specific service they are integrating with to determine the expected format and constraints for a client_id.

Document clientId as the Consumer Client ID.
The table still says The Drupal Consumer UUID. Simple OAuth 6 loads consumers by client_id, so a UUID causes client lookup to fail. Update the table entry accordingly.

Drupal Simple OAuth 6.0.x Password Credentials grant removed official release notes
💡 Result:
The Password Credentials grant was removed from the Drupal Simple OAuth module in the 6.0.x branch to align with OAuth 2.0 Security Best Current Practices [1][2][3]. Official documentation for the Simple OAuth project explicitly notes this removal as a breaking change in the 6.0.x version [1]. The decision was driven by the IETF's OAuth 2.0 Security Best Current Practice recommendations, which discourage the use of the Password Credentials grant [1][2][3]. For users who still require this functionality, a separate module—Simple OAuth Password Grant—was created to re-implement the Password Credentials grant for use with Simple OAuth 6.0.x and later [4].

Resolves #35.
What the investigation found
While modernising the quickstart I hit the exact error from this issue
and instrumented a real Drupal 11 + Simple OAuth 6.1.1 backend to test
both request shapes:
Both fail identically. The empty
scope=this module sends (via@nuxtjs/auth-next defaulting the option to
[]) is not the problem:Simple OAuth 6 rejects every authorization request when no OAuth2 scope
exists that the request can resolve, and it ships with none.
With a scope created and set as the consumer's Authorization code
scopes, the same empty
scope=is accepted unchanged:(That run is druxt/quickstart#146, where provisioning now creates the
scope and the whole flow is checked in CI.)
So no code change is needed here - the fix is documentation.
What this changes
create a scope, set the consumer's Client ID field (lookups use
it, not the UUID), enable grant types on the consumer, and set its
authorization code scopes. Each of these fails login in its own way
when missing (
invalid_client,unsupported_grant_type, and thescope error above).
scopeoption's description explains the interaction: unsetmeans the consumer's own scope defaults are used.
buildModulestomodules: buildModules are not loaded bynuxt start, so theauthentication endpoints and proxy silently vanish in production
while the dev server looks fine.
