>I removed '(when combined with a refresh token)'. This is actually not true as >there is no assumption that >access tokens are always short-lived or that >refresh tokens will always be issued to native applications using >this grant >type. -1 against removing this text (w/o an suitable replacement) and w/o group consent. The -20 text clearly points out that this combination "... eliminates the need for the client to store the resource owner credentials for future use". The resource owner grant type alone does not justify this statement. It's true that the spec does not explicitly defines the lifetime assumption for access and refresh tokens (which is pity in my opinion). So at least add something like "if the token lifetime is reasonable long enough". regards, Torsten. _______________________________________________ OAuth mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/oauth
