Hi, OpenID Connect defines a parameter for the Authorization Request that I really like a lot, the prompt parameter which can force the AS to re-challenge the user for primary authentication.
This would be a nice feature to have for OAuth too. I have some high assurance use cases where my resource servers will require a certain "freshness" of the access token. The RS will only accept a AT within a certain lifetime (say for example 1hr). If a client presents an AT to the RS that was minted over 1hr ago, the RS (via its RESTful API) will return an error message indicating such to the client. Further, the RS requires explicit re-authentication of the end user (by the AS) to obtain a new token. However, if the UA still has an active session with the AS, the AS will not know to re-prompt for primary auth. Hence having a PROMPT parameter in OAuth would be ideal. Obviously, the train has left the station in terms of the core draft. But I'm wondering if anybody else has come across such use cases before? Tx adam
