Hello,

I have a question regarding "JWT Response for OAuth Token Introspection"
(draft-02).

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-jwt-introspection-response/?include_text=1

How to determine the value of "aud" in the response JWT?

The example payload uses "https://protected.example.net/resource"; as the
value of "aud". The example value implies that it represents the identifier
of the target resource or the resource server, but how does an
authorization server implementation know the identifier? I'm sorry if this
has already been discussed.

To be honest, I fear that some inconsistencies might occur in future by
treating resource servers as clients. If I had to write the specification,
I would start from defining "resource server metadata" (e.g. expired draft:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-jones-oauth-resource-metadata/) and
devising a way to register resource servers into an authorization server
and issue resource server credentials (e.g. rs_id and rs_secret, RS JWK
Set, etc.) in order to treat resource servers and clients as different
entities explicitly. I hope that discussion for distinguishing "resource
server authentication" from "client authentication" will be initiated
sometime in future.
