Hi all,

We've just published draft -06 of the Identity Assertion JWT Authorization
Grant (ID-JAG):

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-identity-assertion-authz-grant/

It's been great to see so many new implementations of ID-JAG over the past
few months, across identity providers, authorization servers, clients and
libraries. -05 and -06 are mostly about bringing what we've learned from
these implementations back into the spec. The diff looks big, but most of
it tightens the wording so independent implementations interoperate better.
The flow and the overall design haven't changed.

Most of the changes are clarifications, such as:
- How resource and audience values are compared and validated
- Which sub value the IdP selects for the Resource Authorization Server,
and how subject identifiers are mapped
- Whose claims the ID-JAG carries (End-User, client, etc)
- How the Resource Authorization Server finds and validates the ID-JAG
signing keys
- SAML `NameID` handling
- Using a Refresh Token as the subject token
- Error codes for common failure cases, and when a Client should request a
new ID-JAG
- Fixes to examples and references

A few changes are new, or make explicit what implementations were already
doing:
- The IdP authenticates the Client at the Token Exchange step, and the
request carries a single audience value
- When a subject token fails validation, the IdP now returns
`invalid_request` instead of `invalid_grant`, as RFC 8693 requires. If
you've implemented the Token Exchange step, please check your error
handling.
- At the Resource Authorization Server, a key-bound ID-JAG can be used in
place of client authentication
- mTLS is defined as another option besides DPoP for binding the ID-JAG
- New `id_jag_signing_alg_values_supported` IdP metadata
- A new Privacy Considerations section

Thanks to everyone who has been implementing this and sending feedback, and
especially to Karl for working through so many of the issues. I'm hoping to
get time at IETF 127 to go over the remaining open issues. In the meantime,
comments are welcome on the list or at
