Multiple Active Access Tokens

WSO2 API Manager by default allows only one active access token to be in existence for the same Consumer Key, User and Scope combination at a given time. This behaviour can be modified to allow multiple access tokens as described in the following sections.

JWT

When issuing JWT tokens before the expiry or revocation of the previous token, the default behaviour is to revoke the previous token and issue a new token. With the following configuration, it can be configured to issue a new token before expiry and without revoking the old token, allowing the existence of multiple active access tokens at the same time.

[oauth.jwt.renew_token_without_revoking_existing]
enable = true

By default only the client_credentials grant type is allowed to generate multiple access tokens. This can be configured by the following configuration.

[oauth.jwt.renew_token_without_revoking_existing]
enable = true
allowed_grant_types = [“client_credentials”, “password”]

Note

If you are customizing the allowed_grant_types make sure to add or remove the default value client_credentials as per the requirement.

Opaque

When issuing opaque tokens before the expiry or revocation of the previous token, the default behaviour is to issue the existing token which is stored in the DB. With the following configuration, it can be configured to allow the existence of multiple active access tokens at the same time.

[oauth.opaque.renew_token_without_revoking_existing]
enable = true

By default only the client_credentials grant type is allowed to generate multiple access tokens. This can be configured by the following configuration.

[oauth.opaque.renew_token_without_revoking_existing]
enable = true
allowed_grant_types = [“client_credentials”, “password”]

Note

If you are customizing the allowed_grant_types make sure to add or remove the default value client_credentials as per the requirement.
