Token (authorization_code) (CLIENT_SECRET_BASIC)
POST {{authPath}}/{{envID}}/as/token
The token endpoint is used by the client to obtain an access token by presenting its authorization grant. Note that authentication requirements to this endpoint are configured by the application’s tokenEndpointAuthMethod property. For authorization_code and client_credentials grants, the application calls the POST /{{envID}}/as/token endpoint to acquire the access token.
For an authorization_code grant type in which the application’s tokenEndpointAuthMethod is set to CLIENT_SECRET_BASIC, the Authorization: Basic header represents a Base64-encoded representation of "username:password", in which the username is the client_id and the password is the client_secret:
-H 'Authorization: Basic <client_id:client_secret>' \
For a PKCE authorization request, the token request must include the code_verifier parameter:
curl -X POST \
'https://auth.pingone.com/${{envID}}/as/token \
-H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
-H 'Authorization: Basic <client_id:client_secret>' \
-d `grant_type=authorization_code&code={{authCode}}&redirect_uri={{redirect_uri}}&code_verifier={{codeVerifier}}'
To obtain a refresh token along with an access token, the application must be either:
-
Configured with the
refresh_tokengrant type and theauthorization_codegrant type. -
Configured with the
authorization_codegrant type, and includeoffline_accessin thescopeparameter.
A refresh token is then generated along with the access token. When obtaining the original access token, a refresh token is included in the response, which is tied to the client and the user session. As long as the session exists and it is not expired (30 days since the last sign on), the /{{envID}}/as/token endpoint can be used to exchange the refresh token for a new access token and refresh token. If the openid scope is granted, an ID token is also included.
When a new refresh token is issued, the previous refresh token is rotated to prevent token abuse, which is useful when client authentication is disabled. In addition, when a refresh token is exchanged, the activeAt property of the corresponding session is updated. This does not extend the duration of the session, but can be used to indicate that there is activity.
To revoke a refresh token, the corresponding session must be deleted. Session termination is supported only by the resource owner using the /{{envID}}/as/signoff endpoint or by disabling the user.
For more information about access token claims, refer to Access token claims.
Prerequisites
-
Refer to OpenID Connect/OAuth 2 and Token for important overview information.
-
Run Authorize (authorization_code POST) to generate an
authCode. -
redirect_urivalues are an application attribute. Refer to Application Operations for information about creating a new application. Run Read One Application to find theredirect_urivalue for an existing application.
