Revoke a Token

Use this API to revoke and access_token or refresh_token.

The authentication requirements for this request are dependent on the Token Endpoint Authentication Method that is defined on an OpenId Connect application.

  • Basic - Client ID and Client Secret are required in the Authorization header.
  • POST - Client ID and Client Secret are required in the request body.
  • None (PKCE) - Client ID is required in the request body. Do not include Client Secret. Sending credentials in both Authorization header and payload body will cause an error.
