Description
The Identity Assertion JWT Authorization Grant (ID-JAG) is an emerging OAuth draft that enables an application to obtain an access token for a third-party API through a common enterprise identity provider.
It builds on RFC 8693 (OAuth 2.0 Token Exchange) and RFC 7523 (JWT Bearer Grant).
The flow works in two steps:
- A client exchanges an ID Token for an ID-JAG at the identity provider.
- The client presents the ID-JAG to a resource authorization server using the JWT Bearer grant to obtain an access token.
Why this matters
This enables enterprise cross-application API access, allowing identity providers to mediate authorization between services while preserving the original user identity.
