Example POST to validate a set of configuration properties:

POST /config/check HTTP/1.1
Host: c2id.com
Content-Type: text/plain

op.issuer = https://c2id.com
op.policy = https://c2id.com/policy.html
op.tos = https://c2id.com/tos.html
op.serviceDocs = https://c2id.com/service-docs.html

op.reg.allowOpenRegistration = false
op.reg.rejectNonTLSRedirectionURIs = true
op.reg.accessTokenByteLength = 32
op.reg.refreshAccessTokenOnUpdate = true
op.reg.clientIDByteLength = 8
op.reg.clientSecretLifetime = 0
op.reg.alwaysRefreshClientSecretOnUpdate = true
op.reg.requireRequestURIRegistration = true
op.reg.requestURIQuota = 5
op.reg.apiAccessToken = ztucZS1ZyFKgh0tUEruUtiSTXhnexmd6
...

If the configuration properties validate with success the response is 204:

HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

If a configuration property is found to be invalid the response is 400 with a descriptive error message:

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "error"             : "invalid_configuration_property",
  "error_description" : "Missing property",
  "error_uri"         : "https://connect2id.com/products/server/docs/config/monitoring#monitor-apiAccessToken",
