Pablo,
i'm not sure whether this will be your solution directly, but i found out
recently that the 'aud' claim in the token is to represent the audience.
Now, when i used the spring-security-oauth client library i found that it
validated the resourceId against this aud claim.
i thought it an unnecessary constraint at the time, but maybe it could be
used to restrict access by tokens, which although may have the correct
scope, have been issued to the incorrect or otherwise unknown client?
Simon.
