Hello ACE,

Jim Schaad has brought up an interesting question [1] on draft-ietf-ace-oauth-authz [2]:

Currently when a client makes an unauthorized request to a resource server, it gets back the address of the authorization server and optionally a nonce (to prevent replay attacks).

Jim is suggesting to add hints to the audience and scope the resource server expects for accessing this resource.

I'm not sure whether that would not reveal too much information to a potential attacker.

What does the group think of this issue?

/Ludwig
