Hi,

we are considering usign RAR to have a fine-grained authorization mechanism 
with additional user interactins during the authentication/authorization steps 
based on the authorization requested by the client.

Our main concern is how the client would know when it needs access tokens with 
specific RAR content and when it can simply use standard scope based access 
tokens. We thought about using a similar method as is described in the Step Up 
Auth Challenge Protocol. When requesting a specific resource, a resource server 
could use this protocol to tell the client that it needs an access token with 
specific authorization_details which the client can then obtain before 
requesting the resource again.

Another option would be to use something based on Protected Resource Metadata. 
However, here the Resource Server cannot craft a specific authorization_details 
it needs for a specific resource as it this usually depends on the request data 
which is not available at this point.

Is there something defined to close this gap which we are just not aware of?

Best regards,
kai
