Registry Context

N_A indicates that the issued token is not an access token or is not usable as an access token, so an OAuth 2.0 token_type identifier does not apply.

Technical Summary

In a successful RFC 8693 token exchange response, token_type is required. The value N_A indicates that the issued token is not an access token or is not usable as an access token.

When Used

Use N_A as the token_type value when an RFC 8693 token exchange issues a token that is not an access token or is not usable as one.
