Hello,

Just wondering is there is any plan to extend a bit the scope of OAuth to support non interactive login and ease integration of a small map components into more complex web application or micro services architecture ?

I found a couple of threads asking for that but it seems to me they did not catch the deserved attention as they did not get any reply which is generally not a good sign...

What is ESRI's point of view on this request ? Is there anything wrong with this method and your authorization scheme ?

In your documentation, you are pushing for OAuth2.0 to be used:

Allowing token_exchange would I think, prevent some complex architecture leveraging `generate-token-flow` to bypass this limitation.

Thanks for listening,
