Ok,now I understand your intention. In oauth-revocation the token is just a parameter not an authorization token as in RFC6750. RFC6749 uses "invalid_request" for
Perhaps we should drop the error-code and use invalid-request with a error-description explaining the token parameter is not usable.includes an unsupported parameter value

Hi Peter,I do agree that the meanings of 'invalid_token' between the two specs (6750 and revocation) are different. After thinking about this for a while, I've determined, at least for myself, what the difference is between the 'invalid_token' error code in RFC 6750 and the revocation spec.In RFC 6750 'invalid_token' means that the authorization token for the request is invalid.In 'oauth-revocation', 'invalid_token' means that the parameter containing the token to be revoked is invalid.I am very concerned about using the same error string, 'invalid_token', to mean two different things. While the semantic difference is not great in this case, I think it sets a bad precedent for OAuth to have the same error string have two different semantic meanings.I do agree that the error code used in this spec should be registered.

Here it is applicable for refresh tokens as well. Therefore we should not simply reference the "invalid-token" of RFC6750.As far as I understand both, the reviewed specification and RFC6750, reference RFC6749. RFC6750 includes in section 6.1 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6750#section-6.2> OAuth Extensions Error Registration sections according to RFC6749 section 11.4. <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-11.4> for the error codes defined throughout the document including "invalid-token".I am not very experienced in the formal process but shouldn't we add such sections for the two error codes defined in the revocation document? Especially for "invalid-token" we should define an error registration section that defines the error code for our error usage location and protocol extension to distinguish it from RFC6750 and to avoid confusion. Doing this I hope there is no necessity to add a reference to RFC6750 or to define a new error code.What do the more experienced reviewers think?

If we don't want to create a dependency on RFC 6750, then I would recommend a change to the error code name so that there is no name collision or confusion.Thanks, George On 1/7/13 11:18 AM, Torsten Lodderstedt wrote:Hi George,thank you for pointing this out. Your proposal sounds reasonable although the revocation spec does not build on top of RFC 6750.As refering to RFC 6750 would create a new dependency, one could also argue it would be more robust to leave both specs separated.What do others think? regards, Torsten.

(feedback by Amanda)- improved wording of last paragraph of section 6 (feedback by Amanda) - relaxed the expected behavior regarding revocation of related tokens and the authorization itself in order to remove unintended constraints on implementations (feedback by Mark) - replaced description of error handling by pointer to respective section of core spec (as proposed by Peter) - adopted proposed text for implementation note (as proposed by Hannes)regards, Torsten.

This allows the authorization server to cleanup security credentials.A revocation request will invalidate the actual token and, if applicable, other tokens based on the same authorization.
