I don't believe this situation should result in an "invalid_scope" error. Instead, since the client and the RO's policy allow for A, B, and C, the client should get A, B, and C in the resulting RPT even if the RS registered something less. But this is exactly the kind of question that I meant when I first said that we should make the decision of which scopes apply where to be deterministic, and why we need this set math discussion to conclude with a single answer. -- Justin On 1/5/2017 1:23 PM, Cigdem Sengul wrote:
Thanks, it was an interesting discussion.
Regarding “ The resource server has discretion over the extent of access covered by the request (see Sec 3.3.3); … even a lesser extent. “
Is the following scenario possible?
-Client asked resource 1, scope A, B, C.
- RS registered a lesser extent, due to edge protection, i.e., resource 1, scope A and B.
-RO has a policy that allows A, B and C for this resource for this client
With the ticket, the client approaches to RS, and asks for scopes A, B, C in its request.
This would generate an invalid_scope error as the requested scopes do not match the ones in in the ticket.
I believe this is what was discussed in the call: giving the client a clue about what scopes have been registered in the permission ticket.
In this case, client got an error. If it did not include any scopes in its request, it would still not get scope C. RO cannot do anything about it.
Does this mean
- RS and RO need to resolve this offline?
- RO is trying to give a scope on a resource that is not under its authority?
Or
The RO would never be able to give a permission that allow C on resource 1, in the first place?
Thanks,
