<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello guys,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">we īre using the &#8222;Direct Grant Access&#8221; flow described in chapter 15 in the keycloak users documentation. As we understood, the following steps are necessary:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">1.: Do the token request with &#8220;username/password&#8221; and &#8220;grant_type=password&#8221; to the token server (keycloak).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">2.: The token response from keycloak contains an &#8220;access_token&#8221; and a &#8220;refresh_token&#8221;.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">3.: Normally, the client uses the &#8220;access_token&#8221; within the HTTP-Header (Authorization Bearer *<b>access_token</b>*) to do the authentication.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Everything works as expected. We have found that you can also use the &#8220;refresh_token&#8221; instead of the &#8220;access_token&#8221; in step 3 to do the authentication and it will be still successful. From our point of view, this is possible,
 because the keycloak-wildfly-security-module does not check the token-type. But, from our understanding the &#8220;refresh_token&#8221; is not intended to do the authentication, so this should not work, right? So my two questions are:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">1.: Why is the authentication with the &#8220;refresh_token&#8221; successful?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">2.: The &#8220;refresh_token&#8221; in the token response is defined as an optional element within the OAUth-2.0 specification, so is there any possibility to prevent keycloak returning it?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
