### 14.1.2. OpenID Connect Implicit Client Profile

The OpenID Connect Implicit Client Profile specifies how the client application interacts with the provider, in this case OpenAM, based on use of the OAuth 2.0 implicit grant. The following sequence diagram shows successful processing from the authorization request, through grant of the access and ID tokens, and optional use of the access token to get information about the end user.

As for the Basic Client Profile, the Implicit Client Profile specifies an ID token so the client can validate claims about the end user. It also defines how to get user information such as profile, email, address, and phone details from the UserInfo endpoint with a valid access token.
