OAuth 2.0 Token Revocation

Overview

RFC 7009, “OAuth 2.0 Token Revocation”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2013 by T. Lodderstedt, S. Dronia, M. Scurtescu. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document proposes an additional endpoint for OAuth authorization servers, which allows clients to notify the authorization server that a previously obtained refresh or access token is no longer needed. This allows the authorization server to clean up security credentials. A revocation request will invalidate the actual token and, if applicable, other tokens based on the same authorization grant.
