Token Endpoint

The Token Endpoint is the authorization server endpoint used to issue tokens after a valid code exchange.

Definition

The Token Endpoint is the server-side endpoint contacted by the client application after it receives an authorization code. It is the place where the application obtains the ID token and, when applicable, an access token used for downstream access.

The Ariovis perspective

Tokens are part of an access architecture, not a substitute for identity governance or authorization. Their scope, lifetime, validation and revocation must match the risk of the API and user journey.
