In a networked environment, a client side application executed on a client device may transmit a request to an authorization service for access to a resource. The authorization service may authenticate the user of client device and/or the client device based on user credentials and/or a device identifier. In response to authenticating the user and/or the client device, the authorization service may send to the client side application a request for confirmation that the client device complies with a distribution rule associated with the resource, where the distribution rule requires a specific application or specific type of application to be installed, enabled and/or executing on the client device as a prerequisite to accessing the resource. If the client device complies with the distribution rule, the client side application accesses the resource. Accessing the resource may include receiving an authorization credential required for access to the resource.
