OAuth 2.0 token revocation endpoint

1. Revoking obtained access and refresh tokens

Clients can notify the Connect2id server that a previously obtained refresh or access token is no longer needed. This is done by making a request to the token revocation endpoint, as specified in RFC 7009. The server will invalidate the specified token and, if applicable, other tokens based on the same authorisation grant.

2. The token revocation endpoint URL

The token revocation endpoint URL can be obtained from the server discovery endpoint:

https://[base-server-url]/token/revoke

3. Clients must authenticate

Clients must authenticate to the server with their client_id and client_secret credentials obtained at registration in order to make a token revocation request.

Client secret basic is the default authentication method.
