Hi Brian,

thanks for the clarification. Should the WG document this kind of security design decisions somewhere?

regards,
Torsten.

- Why is the parameter oauth_client_secret required for refreshing access
tokens? Use cases 2.2 and 2.3 do not require the client to use (possess) a
secret. Does this imply such client are not entitled to refresh tokens? I
would suggest to simply remove this parameter.
It shouldn't be required.  Fixed!

It was required in WRAP because is lets you recover if a client web
server that holds many refresh tokens is compromised.  You rotate the
client secret, and then the attacker loses access to user data.

Please add it back. =)
