Token Exchange Grant Type is Missing from the OAuth2.0 Metadata URL

Okta Classic Engine

API Access Management

Overview

This article provide an explanation regarding why the token-exchange grant type is missing from the OAuth2.0 Metadata URL.

Applies To

  • Okta Classic Engine
  • Okta Identity Engine (OIE)
  • OAuth 2.0 On-Behalf-Of Token Exchange

Cause

The JSON response of the OAuth2.0 Metadata URL will not contain the token-exchange grant type by default.

NOTE: The "grant_types_supported" array will not include: "urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:token-exchange".


Solution

NOTE: The token-exchange grant type (and functionality) is only applicable while using a Custom Authorization Server.

 

Additional details:

  • The client_id of a Native OIDC application type or an OAuth2.0 Service application (with the grant type enabled) must be appended to the metadata URL.
  • If the token exchange grant type is enabled, then the following value will be included in the "grant_types_supported" array: "urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:token-exchange".

 

  1. Ensure that the "token-exchange" grant type is enabled in the application's settings. 

Grant type 

  1. Append the client_id of the OIDC application as a query parameter at the end of the Metadata URL.

Example: 

curl -i -X GET \
  'https://{oktadomainName}/oauth2/{authorizationServerId}/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server?client_id=string'
