OAuth 2.0#

In authorization responses to the client, including error responses, an authorization server supporting this specification MUST indicate its identity by including the iss parameter in the response.

OAuth Clients that support this specification MUST extract the value of the iss parameter from Authorization Response they receive if the parameter is present. OAuth Clients MUST then decode the value from its "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" form according to Appendix B of RFC 6749 and compare the result to the issuer identifier of the Authorization Server where the Authorization Request was sent to.

The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server Metadata SHOULD contain the authorization_response_iss_parameter_supported Boolean parameter indicating whether the authorization server provides the iss parameter in the Authorization Response.!! Openid-configuration URL Issuer is a OPTIONAL Openid-configuration URL using the HTTPS scheme with no query or fragment component that the OpenID Connect Identity Provider (IDP) asserts as its Issuer Identifier.

If Issuer discovery is supported, this value MUST be identical to the Issuer value returned by WebFinger. This also MUST be identical to the iss JWT Claim Value in Identity Token issued from this Issuer.
