Hi Nat, the current AZA model does not preclude an access token being formatted as an id_token.

I believe Torsten was conjecturing that there was potential value in an id_token being delivered to a native app in addition to an access token (whether formatted as id_token or not)

I actually do see some utility in the access token in the format of ID Token.
It can give appropriate audience restriction etc.

    Hi Torsten, the current model is that the Authorization Agent
    (AZA) may itself obtain an id_token and use it to obtain an access
    token, but that only access tokens would be 'handed over' by the
    AZA to its constituent native apps.

    Are you proposing that there may be value in allowing the AZA to
    also hand over id_tokens (suitably targeted) as well?

    Hi John,

    I interpreted the text of the charter the other way around, so a
    client would be able to use an(y) id_token (as a credential) to
    obtain an access token. I'm fine if the mechanism is intended to
    support id_token issuance.

    regards,
    Torsten.

    Hi Torsten,

    In point 3 the charter talks about using id_tokens to get access
    tokens.

    So it is imagined that the mechanism would issue id_tokens
    likely along the lines that Google is doing for the play store
    by having a 3rd party as an audience and using "azp" to indicate
    the client the token was issued to. We don't want to be too
    specific on the solution in the charter.

    If you think something needs to be added let me know.

    Hi,

    it would be great to have such a mechanism across platforms!

    I'm wondering whether the mechanism should issue id tokens as
    well. Right now it seems to focus on access tokens.

    Regards,
    Torsten.

        It is best have this activity under the foundation IPR as soon as
