Hi!
I'm curious why this is impossible. If access tokens are arbitrary
handles which are generated by the authorization server and
distributed to all resources, it doesn't make much difference whether
one or multiple are generated and in this case it would be better to
keep the load on the server rather complicating things for clients.
In the scenario (as you have mentioned) where access tokens are
self-contained and digitally signed, would it not be possible to
generate a "super token" which contains signatures from all resources?
I agree this token might be a bit lengthy, but is there any other
concern?!

Regards,
 Lukas
