Only if this working group wanted to take up the work of making a new revision 
of the standard, but I haven't seen any indication of desire to do that here. 
One possibility is for you to propose an update as an individual draft to the 
group here.

Subject: Re: [OAUTH-WG] RFC 8705 (oauth-mtls): RS error code for missing client 
certificate

Thanks for the reply. That makes sense.

Given that MTLS is not a draft but rather a proposed standard (RFC 8705), do 
you think there is a chance the changes you proposed could land in MTLS one day?

This is just my interpretation, but this feels more like invalid token, because 
you’re not presenting all of the material required for the token itself. The 
DPoP draft has added “invalid_dpop_proof” as an error code, which I think is 
even better, but the MTLS draft is missing such an element and that is arguably 
a mistake in the document. The MTLS draft also re-uses “Bearer” as a token 
header, which is also a mistake in my opinion.

But given the codes available, “invalid_token” seems to fit better because you 
aren’t messing up the request _to the resource_ itself, you’re messing up the 
token presentation.

Any updates on this one? The missing certificate case looks more like 
"invalid_request" to me:


invalid_request
         The request is missing a required parameter, includes an
         unsupported parameter or parameter value, repeats the same
         parameter, uses more than one method for including an access
         token, or is otherwise malformed.  The resource server SHOULD
         respond with the HTTP 400 (Bad Request) status code.

   The protected resource MUST obtain, from its TLS implementation
   layer, the client certificate used for mutual TLS and MUST verify
   that the certificate matches the certificate associated with the
   access token.  If they do not match, the resource access attempt MUST
   be rejected with an error, per 
[RFC6750<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6750>], using an HTTP 401 
status
   code and the "invalid_token" error code.

Should the same error code be used in the case when the resource failed to 
obtain a certificate from the TLS layer? This could happen, for example, if the 
TLS stack has been misconfigured (e.g. verify-client="REQUESTED" instead of 
"REQUIRED" for Undertow), and the user agent provided no certificate.

Thanks,
Dmitry
