How to enable issuing of a refresh token

In order to include a refresh token in a response from /auth/token API, you have to configure both Authlete service and its clients.

If not configured, Refresh Token Grant Type (grant_type=refresh_token) is disabled. Issuing of a refresh token for other grant types such as Authorization Code Grant Type (grant_type=authorization_code) is also omitted.

Service settings

In the Authlete console, go to your service settings, under Endpoints > Global Settings. You will then need to enable the “REFRESH_TOKEN” value under the Supporter Grant Types setting.
