Re: [OAUTH-WG] JWT Token on-behalf of Use case

I’ll write a note later today describing how the just-published update that makes the Token Exchange draft token-type agnostic also enables it to be used in fully “OAuthy” cases – where some of the tokens used are OAuth access tokens or refresh tokens.

(Right now I’m writing up the changes made to draft-ietf-oauth-proof-of-possession, then will get to the JWK Thumbprint and Token Exchange write-ups…)

Kathleen,

I agree that Brian’s approach covers the use case that drove my original draft and effectively subsumes my approach.

My standing contention with the document as it stands is and has always been that it’s lacking a general syntactical approach and it isn’t very OAuth-y. I would love to see a productive conversation on this front.

I'm just catching up on this tread, but would appreciate an in-room discussion on this topic that doesn't assume the adopted draft has the agreed upon approach as I am not reading that there is consensus on that approach in this thread at all.

Could we see presentations on Mike's draft and Brian's?  Justin, do you agree that Brian's draft covers the use case in our draft as was implied in this thread?

I'd like to see a discussion guided by the chairs to see if we can find a go-forward plan.  There seems to be differing opinions and maybe a pull towards simpler approaches that extend Oauth.

Thank you.

Speaking as someone who is reasonably familiar with Kerberos and the
general concepts involved, I find both Microsoft/Kerberos technology
((constrained delegation/protocol transition) and the ws-trust text
horribly confusing and would recommend against all of the above as
examples of clarity.
After several years I've finally gotten to a point where I understand
the Kerberos terms, but that's simply by using them regularly, not
because there was clarity.

This may be a case where new terminology is worthwhile if you can find
something that multiple people (especially new readers not overly
familiar with the concepts) find to be clear.
