/tokeninfo endpoint
About
The /tokeninfo endpoint is thoroughly documented in RFC 7662 OAuth 2.0 Token Introspection
Request
The following header parameters must be used:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Http method: | POST |
| Content-type: | application/x-www-form-urlencoded |
The client calling /tokeninfo must be pre-registered, and must authenticate itself using the registered method of client authentication (ie token_endpoint_auth_method).
The following JSON payload must be submitted:
| Claim | Value |
|---|---|
| token | <The token that should be validated> |
Response
The most important parameter in the reponse is the active-claim. If its value is false, the submitted token is not longer valid, and must not be used or trusted by the sending party.
| claim | value | description |
|---|---|---|
| active | true / false | Authorative statement from ID-porten whether the submitted token is valid or not. |
The response will also include a number of claims related to the submitted token, and are equal to the claims available for self-contained access token.
Please note that the response from the /tokeninfo-endpoint is NOT an access_token, even though it is a JWT.
