Fwiw, at Ozwillo, we track grants per user per client_id (we don't support native apps; only web flows for now), and we don't do "incremental grants" like Google: if you request scope B and the user had only granted scope A, you'll get a token for scope B only. This is partly because our tokens are not for our own APIs only, contrary to Google, so we want to allow clients to get tokens with narrow scopes so they could have one token per third-party API and prevent rogue resources from trying to use received tokens at other APIs.
UI-wise, we tell the user what he already granted to the client, and even let him grant scopes that the client has pre-registered as "possibly needed at some time" (through a custom provisioning protocol), but the issued token is always for the exact scopes that the client requested in this specific request. And if all requested scopes have already been granted, then we do a transparent redirect without showing anything to the user (which is what most other implementations do too) Le mar. 26 janv. 2016 19:04, Sergey Beryozkin <sberyoz...@gmail.com> a écrit : > Hi > > I'm not sure if the next question is off topic or too low level, > hopefully not, > > When the repeated authorization is skipped or only new scopes are > requested to be authorized as per the incremented auth approach, is it > reasonable to assume that the record that is used to track it all is > actually the existing access token or is totally OIDC implementation > specific ? > I think using the existing token as a record is reasonable because it is > time scoped and if we do not use the access token for keeping the track > of the multiple approvals, etc, then one need to introduce one more > record mirroring to some extent the access token... > > For example, the user session may have expired but the access token that > was issued to a client web app on behalf of this user is still active, > so when the user returns and signs in again, and for example, approves > few more scopes, then the existing access token (the record) gets > updated, instead of a new token being created. > > If it is reasonable then does it mean the sticky or incremental > authorization works as long as the access token is available > (refreshable) ? > > Sergey > > > > > On 19/01/16 09:59, Sergey Beryozkin wrote: > > Hi William > > > > Thanks for the advice.
