### OAuth 2.0 API
|
||||
|
||||
#### Server metadata discovery
|
||||
|
||||
{{% http-api spec="client-server" api="oauth_server_metadata" %}}
|
||||
|
||||
#### Scope
|
||||
|
||||
The client requests a scope in the OAuth 2.0 authorization flow, which is then
|
||||
associated to the generated access and refresh tokens. This provides a framework
|
||||
for obtaining user consent.
|
||||
|
||||
A scope is defined in [RFC 6749 section 3.3](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749#section-3.3)
|
||||
as a string containing a list of space-separated scope tokens.
|
||||
|
||||
{{% boxes/note %}}
|
||||
The framework encourages the practice of obtaining additional user consent when
|
||||
a client asks for a new scope that was not granted previously. This could be
|
||||
used by future MSCs to replace the legacy [User-Interactive Authentication API](#user-interactive-authentication-api).
|
||||
{{% /boxes/note %}}
|
||||
|
||||
##### Scope token format
|
||||
|
||||
All scope tokens related to Matrix should start with `urn:matrix:` and use the
|
||||
`:` delimiter for further sub-division.
|
||||
|
||||
Scope tokens related to mapping of Client-Server API access levels should start
|
||||
with `urn:matrix:client:`.
|
||||
|
||||
{{% boxes/note %}}
|
||||
For MSCs that build on this namespace, unstable subdivisions should be used
|
||||
whilst in development. For example, if MSCXXXX wants to introduce the
|
||||
`urn:matrix:client:foo` scope, it could use
|
||||
`urn:matrix:client:com.example.mscXXXX.foo` during development.
|
||||
If it needs to introduce multiple scopes, like `urn:matrix:client:foo` and
|
||||
`urn:matrix:client:bar`, it could use
|
||||
`urn:matrix:client:com.example.mscXXXX:foo` and
|
||||
`urn:matrix:client:com.example.mscXXXX:bar`.
|
||||
{{% /boxes/note %}}
|
||||
|
||||
##### Allocated scope tokens
|
||||
|
||||
This specification defines the following scope tokens:
|
||||
- [`urn:matrix:client:api:*`](#full-client-server-api-readwrite-access)
|
||||
- [`urn:matrix:client:device:<device_id>`](#device-id-allocation)
|
||||
|
||||
###### Full client-server API read/write access
|
||||
|
||||
| Scope | Purpose |
|
||||
|---------------------------|---------------------------------------------|
|
||||
| `urn:matrix:client:api:*` | Grants full access to the Client-Server API. |
|
||||
|
||||
{{% boxes/note %}}
|
||||
This token matches the behavior of the legacy authentication API. Future MSCs
|
||||
could introduce more fine-grained scope tokens like
|
||||
`urn:matrix:client:api:read:*` for read-only access.
|
||||
{{% /boxes/note %}}
|
||||
|
||||
###### Device ID allocation
|
||||
|
||||
| Scope | Purpose |
|
||||
|----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
||||
| `urn:matrix:client:device:<device_id>` | Allocates the given `device_id` and associates it to the generated access and refresh tokens. |
|
||||
|
||||
Contrary to the legacy login and registration APIs where the homeserver is
|
||||
typically the one generating a `device_id` and providing it to the client, with
|
||||
the OAuth 2.0 API, the client is responsible for allocating the `device_id`.
|
||||
|
||||
There MUST be exactly one `urn:matrix:client:device:<device_id>` token in the
|
||||
requested scope in the login flow.
|
||||
|
||||
When generating a new `device_id`, the client SHOULD generate a random string
|
||||
with enough entropy. It SHOULD only use characters from the unreserved character
|
||||
list defined by [RFC 3986 section 2.3](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986#section-2.3):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
unreserved = a-z / A-Z / 0-9 / "-" / "." / "_" / "~"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Using this alphabet, a 10 character string is enough to stand a sufficient
|
||||
chance of being unique per user. The homeserver MAY reject a request for a
|
||||
`device_id` that is not long enough or contains characters outside the
|
||||
unreserved list.
|
||||
|
||||
In any case it MUST only use characters allowed by the OAuth 2.0 scope
|
||||
definition in [RFC 6749 section 3.3](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749#section-3.3),
|
||||
which is defined as the following ASCII ranges:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
%x21 / %x23-5B / %x5D-7E
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This definition matches:
|
||||
- alphanumeric characters: `A-Z`, `a-z`, `0-9`
|
||||
- the following characters: ``! # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~``
|
||||
|
||||
#### Grant types
|
||||
|
||||
[RFC 6749](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749) and other RFCs define
|
||||
several "grant types": ways to obtain an ["access token"](#using-access-tokens).
|
||||
|
||||
All these grants types require the client to know the following authorization
|
||||
server metadata:
|
||||
- `token_endpoint`
|
||||
- `grant_types_supported`
|
||||
|
||||
The client must also have obtained a `client_id` by registering with the server.
|
||||
|
||||
This specification supports the following grant types:
|
||||
- [Authorization code grant](#authorization-code-grant)
|
||||
- [Refresh token grant](#refresh-token-grant)
|
||||
|
||||
##### Authorization code grant
|
||||
|
||||
As per [RFC 6749 section 4.1](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749#section-4.1),
|
||||
the authorization code grant lets the client obtain an access token through a
|
||||
browser redirect.
|
||||
|
||||
This grant requires the client to know the following authorization server
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
- `authorization_endpoint`
|
||||
- `response_types_supported`
|
||||
- `response_mode_supported`
|
||||
|
||||
To use this grant, homeservers and clients MUST:
|
||||
|
||||
- Support the authorization code grant as per [RFC 6749 section 4.1](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749#section-4.1).
|
||||
- Support the [refresh token grant](#refresh-token-grant).
|
||||
- Support PKCE using the `S256` code challenge method as per [RFC 7636](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7636).
|
||||
- Use pre-registered, strict redirect URIs.
|
||||
- Use the `fragment` response mode as per [OAuth 2.0 Multiple Response Type
|
||||
Encoding Practices](https://openid.net/specs/oauth-v2-multiple-response-types-1_0.html)
|
||||
for clients with an HTTPS redirect URI.
|
||||
|
||||
###### User registration
|
||||
|
||||
Clients can signal to the server that the user desires to register a new account
|
||||
by initiating the authorization code grant with the `prompt=create` parameter
|
||||
set in the authorization request as defined in [Initiating User Registration via
|
||||
OpenID Connect 1.0](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-prompt-create-1_0.html).
|
||||
|
||||
Whether the homeserver supports this parameter is advertised by the
|
||||
`prompt_values_supported` authorization server metadata.
|
||||
|
||||
Servers that support this parameter SHOULD show the account registration UI in
|
||||
the browser.
|
||||
|
||||
##### Refresh token grant
|
||||
|
||||
As per [RFC 6749 section 6](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749#section-6),
|
||||
the refresh token grant lets the client exchange a refresh token for an access
|
||||
token.
|
||||
|
||||
When authorization is granted to a client, the homeserver MUST issue a refresh
|
||||
token to the client in addition to the access token.
|
||||
|
||||
The access token MUST be short-lived and SHOULD be refreshed using the
|
||||
`refresh_token` when expired.
|
||||
|
||||
The homeserver SHOULD issue a new refresh token each time an old one is used,
|
||||
and invalidate the old one. However, it MUST ensure that the client is able to
|
||||
retry the refresh request in the case that the response to the request is lost.
|
||||
|
||||
The homeserver SHOULD consider that the session is compromised if an old,
|
||||
invalidated refresh token is used, and SHOULD revoke the session.
|
||||
|
||||
The client MUST handle access token refresh failures as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
- If the refresh fails due to network issues or a `5xx` HTTP status code from
|
||||
the server, the client should retry the request with the old refresh token
|
||||
later.
|
||||
- If the refresh fails due to a `4xx` HTTP status code from the server, the
|
||||
client should consider the session logged out.
|
||||
|
||||

#### Server metadata discovery

|
||||
{{% http-api spec="client-server" api="oauth_server_metadata" %}}
|
||||
|
||||
#### Client registration
|
||||
|
||||
Before being able to use the authorization flow to obtain an access token, a
|
||||
client needs to obtain a `client_id` by registering itself with the server.
|
||||
|
||||
This should be done via OAuth 2.0 Dynamic Client Registration as defined in
|
||||
[RFC 7591](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7591).
|
||||
|
||||
##### Client metadata
|
||||
|
||||
In OAuth 2.0, clients register a set of metadata values with the authorization
|
||||
server, which associates it with a newly generated `client_id`. These values are
|
||||
used to describe the client to the user and define how the client interacts with
|
||||
the server.
|
||||
|
||||
{{% definition path="schemas/oauth2-client-metadata" %}}
|
||||
|
||||
###### Metadata localization
|
||||
|
||||
As per [RFC 7591 section 2.2](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7591#section-2.2),
|
||||
all the human-readable metadata values MAY be localized.
|
||||
|
||||
The human-readable values include:
|
||||
- `client_name`
|
||||
- `logo_uri`
|
||||
- `tos_uri`
|
||||
- `policy-uri`
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"client_name": "Digital mailbox",
|
||||
"client_name#en-US": "Digital mailbox",
|
||||
"client_name#en-GB": "Digital postbox",
|
||||
"client_name#fr": "Boîte aux lettres numérique",
|
||||
"tos_uri": "https://example.com/tos.html",
|
||||
"tos_uri#fr": "https://example.com/fr/tos.html",
|
||||
"policy_uri": "https://example.com/policy.html",
|
||||
"policy_uri#fr": "https://example.com/fr/policy.html"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
###### Redirect URI validation
|
||||
|
||||
The redirect URI plays a critical role in validating the authenticity of the
|
||||
client. The client "proves" its identity by demonstrating that it controls the
|
||||
redirect URI. This is why it is critical to have strict validation of the
|
||||
redirect URI.
|
||||
|
||||
The `application_type` metadata is used to determine the type of client.
|
||||
|
||||
In all cases, the redirect URI MUST NOT have a fragment component.
|
||||
|
||||
**Web clients**
|
||||
|
||||
`web` clients can use redirect URIs that:
|
||||
|
||||
- MUST use the `https` scheme.
|
||||
- MUST NOT use a user or password in the authority component of the URI.
|
||||
- MUST use the client URI as a common base for the authority component, as
|
||||
defined previously.
|
||||
- MAY include an `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` formatted query component.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, with `https://example.com/` as the client URI, the following are
|
||||
valid redirect URIs:
|
||||
- `https://example.com/callback`
|
||||
- `https://app.example.com/callback`
|
||||
- `https://example.com:5173/?query=value`
|
||||
|
||||
With the same client URI, the following are invalid redirect URIs:
|
||||
- `https://example.com/callback#fragment`
|
||||
- `http://example.com/callback`
|
||||
- `http://localhost/`
|
||||
|
||||
**Native clients**
|
||||
|
||||
`native` clients can use three types of redirect URIs:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Private-Use URI Scheme**
|
||||
- The scheme MUST be prefixed with the client URI hostname in reverse-DNS
|
||||
notation. For example, if the client URI is `https://example.com/`, then a
|
||||
valid custom URI scheme would be `com.example.app:/`.
|
||||
- There MUST NOT be an authority component. This means that the URI MUST have
|
||||
either a single slash or none immediately following the scheme, with no
|
||||
hostname, username, or port.
|
||||
2. **`http` URI on the loopback interface**
|
||||
- The scheme MUST be `http`.
|
||||
- The host part MUST be `localhost`, `127.0.0.1`, or `[::1]`.
|
||||
- There MUST NOT be a port. The homeserver MUST then accept any port number
|
||||
during the authorization flow.
|
||||
3. **Claimed `https` Scheme URI**
|
||||
|
||||
Some operating systems allow apps to claim `https` scheme URIs in the
|
||||
domains they control. When the browser encounters a claimed URI, instead of
|
||||
the page being loaded in the browser, the native app is launched with the
|
||||
URI supplied as a launch parameter. The same rules as for `web` clients
|
||||
apply.
|
||||
|
||||
These restrictions are the same as defined by [RFC 8252 section 7](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8252#section-7).
|
||||
|
||||
For example, with `https://example.com/` as the client URI,
|
||||
|
||||
These are valid redirect URIs:
|
||||
- `com.example.app:/callback`
|
||||
- `com.example:/`
|
||||
- `com.example:callback`
|
||||
- `http://localhost/callback`
|
||||
- `http://127.0.0.1/callback`
|
||||
- `http://[::1]/callback`
|
||||
|
||||
These are invalid redirect URIs:
|
||||
- `example:/callback`
|
||||
- `com.example.app://callback`
|
||||
- `https://localhost/callback`
|
||||
- `http://localhost:1234/callback`
|
||||
|
||||
##### Dynamic client registration flow
|
||||
|
||||
To register, the client sends an HTTP `POST` request to the
|
||||
`registration_endpoint`, which can be found in the [server metadata](#server-metadata-discovery).
|
||||
The body of the request is the JSON-encoded [`OAuthClientMetadata`](#client-metadata).
|
||||
|
||||
For example, the client could send the following registration request:
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
POST /register HTTP/1.1
|
||||
Content-Type: application/json
|
||||
Accept: application/json
|
||||
Server: auth.example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"client_name": "My App",
|
||||
"client_name#fr": "Mon application",
|
||||
"client_uri": "https://example.com/",
|
||||
"logo_uri": "https://example.com/logo.png",
|
||||
"tos_uri": "https://example.com/tos.html",
|
||||
"tos_uri#fr": "https://example.com/fr/tos.html",
|
||||
"policy_uri": "https://example.com/policy.html",
|
||||
"policy_uri#fr": "https://example.com/fr/policy.html",
|
||||
"redirect_uris": ["https://app.example.com/callback"],
|
||||
"token_endpoint_auth_method": "none",
|
||||
"response_types": ["code"],
|
||||
"grant_types": [
|
||||
"authorization_code",
|
||||
"refresh_token",
|
||||
"urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:token-exchange"
|
||||
],
|
||||
"application_type": "web"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Upon successful registration, the server replies with an `HTTP 201 Created`
|
||||
response, with a JSON object containing the allocated `client_id` and all the
|
||||
registered metadata values.
|
||||
|
||||
With the registration request above, the server might reply with:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"client_id": "s6BhdRkqt3",
|
||||
"client_name": "My App",
|
||||
"client_uri": "https://example.com/",
|
||||
"logo_uri": "https://example.com/logo.png",
|
||||
"tos_uri": "https://example.com/tos.html",
|
||||
"policy_uri": "https://example.com/policy.html",
|
||||
"redirect_uris": ["https://app.example.com/callback"],
|
||||
"token_endpoint_auth_method": "none",
|
||||
"response_types": ["code"],
|
||||
"grant_types": ["authorization_code", "refresh_token"],
|
||||
"application_type": "web"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In this example, the server has not registered the locale-specific values for
|
||||
`client_name`, `tos_uri`, and `policy_uri`, which is why they are not present in
|
||||
the response. The server also does not support the
|
||||
`urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:token-exchange` grant type, which is why it is
|
||||
not present in the response.
|
||||
|
||||
The client MUST store the `client_id` for future use.
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid the number of client registrations growing over time, the server MAY
|
||||
choose to delete client registrations that don't have an active session. The
|
||||
server MUST NOT delete client registrations that have an active session.
|
||||
|
||||
Clients MUST perform a new client registration at the start of each
|
||||
authorization flow.
|
||||
|
||||
{{% boxes/note %}}
|
||||
Because each client on each user device will do its own registration, they may
|
||||
all have different `client_id`s. This means that the server may store the same
|
||||
client registration multiple times, which could lead to a large number of client
|
||||
registrations.
|
||||
|
||||
This can be mitigated by de-duplicating client registrations that have identical
|
||||
metadata. By doing so, different users on different devices using the same
|
||||
client can share a single `client_id`, reducing the overall number of
|
||||
registrations.

|
||||
#### Scope
|
||||
|
||||
The client requests a scope in the OAuth 2.0 authorization flow, which is then
|
||||
associated to the generated access and refresh tokens. This provides a framework
|
||||
for obtaining user consent.
|
||||
|
||||
A scope is defined in [RFC 6749 section 3.3](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749#section-3.3)
|
||||
as a string containing a list of space-separated scope tokens.

||||
|
||||
{{% boxes/note %}}
|
||||
The framework encourages the practice of obtaining additional user consent when
|
||||
a client asks for a new scope that was not granted previously. This could be
|
||||
used by future MSCs to replace the legacy [User-Interactive Authentication API](#user-interactive-authentication-api).
|
||||
{{% /boxes/note %}}
|
||||
|
||||
##### Scope token format
|
||||
|
||||
All scope tokens related to Matrix should start with `urn:matrix:` and use the
|
||||
`:` delimiter for further sub-division.
|
||||
|
||||
Scope tokens related to mapping of Client-Server API access levels should start
|
||||
with `urn:matrix:client:`.
|
||||
|
||||
{{% boxes/note %}}
|
||||
For MSCs that build on this namespace, unstable subdivisions should be used
|
||||
whilst in development. For example, if MSCXXXX wants to introduce the
|
||||
`urn:matrix:client:foo` scope, it could use
|
||||
`urn:matrix:client:com.example.mscXXXX.foo` during development.
|
||||
If it needs to introduce multiple scopes, like `urn:matrix:client:foo` and
|
||||
`urn:matrix:client:bar`, it could use
|
||||
`urn:matrix:client:com.example.mscXXXX:foo` and
|
||||
`urn:matrix:client:com.example.mscXXXX:bar`.
|
||||
{{% /boxes/note %}}
|
||||
|
||||
##### Allocated scope tokens
|
||||
|
||||
This specification defines the following scope tokens:
|
||||
- [`urn:matrix:client:api:*`](#full-client-server-api-readwrite-access)
|
||||
- [`urn:matrix:client:device:<device_id>`](#device-id-allocation)
|
||||
|
||||
###### Full client-server API read/write access
|
||||
|
||||
| Scope | Purpose |
|
||||
|---------------------------|---------------------------------------------|
|
||||
| `urn:matrix:client:api:*` | Grants full access to the Client-Server API. |
|
||||
|
||||
{{% boxes/note %}}
|
||||
This token matches the behavior of the legacy authentication API. Future MSCs
|
||||
could introduce more fine-grained scope tokens like
|
||||
`urn:matrix:client:api:read:*` for read-only access.
|
||||
{{% /boxes/note %}}
|
||||
|
||||
###### Device ID allocation
|
||||
|
||||
| Scope | Purpose |
|
||||
|----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
||||
| `urn:matrix:client:device:<device_id>` | Allocates the given `device_id` and associates it to the generated access and refresh tokens. |
|
||||
|
||||
Contrary to the legacy login and registration APIs where the homeserver is
|
||||
typically the one generating a `device_id` and providing it to the client, with
|
||||
the OAuth 2.0 API, the client is responsible for allocating the `device_id`.
|
||||
|
||||
There MUST be exactly one `urn:matrix:client:device:<device_id>` token in the
|
||||
requested scope in the login flow.
|
||||
|
||||
When generating a new `device_id`, the client SHOULD generate a random string
|
||||
with enough entropy. It SHOULD only use characters from the unreserved character
|
||||
list defined by [RFC 3986 section 2.3](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986#section-2.3):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
unreserved = a-z / A-Z / 0-9 / "-" / "." / "_" / "~"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Using this alphabet, a 10 character string is enough to stand a sufficient
|
||||
chance of being unique per user. The homeserver MAY reject a request for a
|
||||
`device_id` that is not long enough or contains characters outside the
|
||||
unreserved list.
|
||||
|
||||
In any case it MUST only use characters allowed by the OAuth 2.0 scope
|
||||
definition in [RFC 6749 section 3.3](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749#section-3.3),
|
||||
which is defined as the following ASCII ranges:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
%x21 / %x23-5B / %x5D-7E
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This definition matches:
|
||||
- alphanumeric characters: `A-Z`, `a-z`, `0-9`
|
||||
- the following characters: ``! # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~``
|
||||
|
||||
#### Grant types
|
||||
|
||||
[RFC 6749](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749) and other RFCs define
|
||||
several "grant types": ways to obtain an ["access token"](#using-access-tokens).
|
||||
|
||||
All these grants types require the client to know the following [authorization
|
||||
server metadata](#server-metadata-discovery):
|
||||
- `token_endpoint`
|
||||
- `grant_types_supported`
|
||||
|
||||
The client must also have obtained a `client_id` by [registering with the server](#client-registration).
|
||||
|
||||
This specification supports the following grant types:
|
||||
- [Authorization code grant](#authorization-code-grant)
|
||||
- [Refresh token grant](#refresh-token-grant)
|
||||
|
||||
##### Authorization code grant
|
||||
|
||||
As per [RFC 6749 section 4.1](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749#section-4.1),
|
||||
the authorization code grant lets the client obtain an access token through a
|
||||
browser redirect.
|
||||
|
||||
This grant requires the client to know the following [authorization server
|
||||
metadata](#server-metadata-discovery):
|
||||
- `authorization_endpoint`
|
||||
- `response_types_supported`
|
||||
- `response_mode_supported`
|
||||
|
||||
To use this grant, homeservers and clients MUST:
|
||||
|
||||
- Support the authorization code grant as per [RFC 6749 section 4.1](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749#section-4.1).
|
||||
- Support the [refresh token grant](#refresh-token-grant).
|
||||
- Support PKCE using the `S256` code challenge method as per [RFC 7636](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7636).
|
||||
- Use [pre-registered](#client-registration), strict redirect URIs.
|
||||
- Use the `fragment` response mode as per [OAuth 2.0 Multiple Response Type
|
||||
Encoding Practices](https://openid.net/specs/oauth-v2-multiple-response-types-1_0.html)
|
||||
for clients with an HTTPS redirect URI.
|
||||
|
||||
###### User registration
|
||||
|
||||
Clients can signal to the server that the user desires to register a new account
|
||||
by initiating the authorization code grant with the `prompt=create` parameter
|
||||
set in the authorization request as defined in [Initiating User Registration via
|
||||
OpenID Connect 1.0](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-prompt-create-1_0.html).
|
||||
|
||||
Whether the homeserver supports this parameter is advertised by the
|
||||
`prompt_values_supported` authorization server metadata.
|
||||
|
||||
Servers that support this parameter SHOULD show the account registration UI in
|
||||
the browser.
|
||||
|
||||
##### Refresh token grant
|
||||
|
||||
As per [RFC 6749 section 6](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749#section-6),
|
||||
the refresh token grant lets the client exchange a refresh token for an access
|
||||
token.
|
||||
|
||||
When authorization is granted to a client, the homeserver MUST issue a refresh
|
||||
token to the client in addition to the access token.
|
||||
|
||||
The access token MUST be short-lived and SHOULD be refreshed using the
|
||||
`refresh_token` when expired.
|
||||
|
||||
The homeserver SHOULD issue a new refresh token each time an old one is used,
|
||||
and invalidate the old one. However, it MUST ensure that the client is able to
|
||||
retry the refresh request in the case that the response to the request is lost.
|
||||
|
||||
The homeserver SHOULD consider that the session is compromised if an old,
|
||||
invalidated refresh token is used, and SHOULD revoke the session.
|
||||
|
||||
The client MUST handle access token refresh failures as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
- If the refresh fails due to network issues or a `5xx` HTTP status code from
|
||||
the server, the client should retry the request with the old refresh token
|
||||
later.
|
||||
- If the refresh fails due to a `4xx` HTTP status code from the server, the
|
||||
client should consider the session logged out.

||||

This definition of the metadata specifies only the fields that are meaningful
|
||||
in the context of the Matrix specification. All the possible values are
|
||||
registered in the [OAuth Dynamic Client Registration Metadata registry](https://www.iana.org/assignments/oauth-parameters/oauth-parameters.xhtml#client-metadata),
|
||||
and normative definitions of them are available in their respective RFCs.

MUST be either on the same host or on a subdomain of the host of the
|
||||
`client_uri`. The port number, path and query components MAY be different.
|
||||
|
