4.8 Revocation Endpoint

Revocation endpoint is used for revoking refresh tokens and their corresponding access tokens.

Endpoint URL: https://<Identity Server URL: Port Number>/nidp/oauth/nam/revoke

Request method: POST

NOTE:The authentication is done by using client_id and client_secret in the request body parameters (as mentioned in the preceding curl request), or send client credentials in the basic authorization header (as mentioned in RFC 6749).

4.8.1 Request Parameters

The request should contain the refresh token and client credentials in HTTP request parameters as mentioned in the following table:

Parameter

Required

Description

client_id

Yes

The client application ID that is obtained at the time of client application registration.

client_secret

Optional

The secret that is obtained at the time of client application registration.

The client secret is optional for a native application and mandatory for a web application.

token

Yes

refresh_token that is obtained during authorization grant, resource owner credentials, client credentials flow

4.8.2 Response Values

  • The Identity Server responds with HTTP status code 200 OK if the token has been revoked successfully or if the client submitted an invalid token.

  • The error code unsupported_token_type is returned by the Identity Server when the given token is not a refresh token.

  • If the Identity Server responds with HTTP status code 503, the client must assume the token still exists and may retry revoking the refresh token after a reasonable delay.

4.8.3 Revoking a Token Issued to a Device

When Mobile Access SDK is not used for on-boarding and off-boarding devices, the token can be manually associated with a device. This can be done by providing additional parameter device_id while requesting an access token. Such manually associated tokens can be revoked by using the revocation endpoint. Send a request to revoke all tokens that are issued to a device.
