I confirm that there is no impact on the docs due to the code changes in this PR.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Documentation
Updated OAuth and OpenID Connect guidance to recommend Authorization Code with PKCE using S256, including clearer authorization, code exchange, client configuration, and mobile-app examples.
Clarified that Implicit and Password grants are legacy options excluded from default supported grants, and that Hybrid flows are not recommended for new integrations.
Documented Bearer-header requirements for Userinfo and client information, and clarified token introspection examples, including GET compatibility risks.
Expanded guidance for device authorization, client credentials, mTLS, native SSO, JWT grants, and exact redirect URIs.
Clarified issuer identification defaults, public-client refresh-token replacement, and the 600-second maximum authorization-code lifetime.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The documentation updates Janssen’s OAuth and OpenID Connect guidance. It describes Authorization Code with PKCE using S256, revises endpoint and grant-flow examples, and clarifies legacy-grant, token, and configuration guidance.
Revises grant-flow descriptions and examples, including Device Authorization polling guidance and legacy-grant notices in the benchmark and script-catalog pages.
mTLS configuration and examples docs/janssen-server/auth-server/oauth-features/mtls.md
Documents proxy certificate handling and updates the mTLS registration, authorization, token, and introspection examples.
Several examples and protocol descriptions can mislead implementers or cause otherwise valid requests to fail; these documentation issues should be corrected before merge.

Explanation
Issue #15340 asks for a review and update of Janssen documentation to align with the OAuth 2.1 specification. This is a documentation task. The issue defines no acceptance criteria, no code change, and no automated-test requirement, so no coding requirements apply. The whole-PR summary shows documentation updates that address the issue goal. The authorization, token, PKCE, implicit, ROPC, refresh-token, UserInfo, issuer, JWT grant, and client-credentials pages now recommend Authorization Code with PKCE (S256). They label Implicit and ROPC as legacy and outside default grant types. Source-code accuracy of the documented server behavior was not verified in this review. That gap does not change the scope verdict.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
All changed files in the whole-PR summary are under docs/. No source, test, or configuration files appear in the summary, and ignored_files is empty. Each page changed relates to OAuth 2.1 alignment or documents a flow or endpoint affected by that alignment. Examples include the authorizationCodeLifetime default and cap in janssenauthserver-properties.md, the ROPC benchmark and script-catalog pages that label the legacy grant, and the mtls, jarm, and PKCE pages that update PKCE and response-type guidance. Minor edits, such as the label rename in prompt-parameter.md and the empty trailing hunk, do not change behavior and fall within the documentation update. No unrelated change was identified. The incremental changes since the previous reviewed head were not inspected separately. This assessment relies on the whole-PR summary.

Review comments at
@docs/janssen-server/auth-server/client-management/client-configuration.md:
- Around line 131-133: Update the server-backend recommendation in the flow
table to specify Authorization Code with PKCE, consistent with the guidance that
PKCE applies to confidential clients. If the row is intentionally documenting a
legacy exception, state that explicitly.
Review comments at @docs/janssen-server/auth-server/endpoints/introspection.md:
- Around line 35-36: Update the introspection guidance and GET example to
present POST with form data as the preferred method; retain GET query support
only as a compatibility option and warn that the inspected token may appear in
logs or be exposed to intermediaries.
Review comments at @docs/janssen-server/auth-server/endpoints/token.md:
- Around line 20-23: Update the Supported Grant Types section to qualify
Implicit and Password as legacy grants that require explicit server and client
configuration, rather than presenting them as unconditionally supported by the
token endpoint. Keep the list consistent with the statement that Implicit is not
enabled by default.
Review comments at @docs/janssen-server/auth-server/endpoints/userinfo.md:
- Around line 15-16: Update the UserInfo endpoint documentation to refer
consistently to the single access token: replace “endpoint-authenticating access
token” with “this access token” in the instruction not to send it in the URL
query string.
Review comments at
@docs/janssen-server/auth-server/oauth-features/authorization-server-issuer-identification.md:
- Around line 33-35: Update the description of
authorizationResponseIssParameterSupported to state that the plain iss parameter
is appended to authorization redirects only for non-JARM responses; preserve the
existing default behavior.
Review comments at @docs/janssen-server/auth-server/oauth-features/jwt-grant.md:
- Line 24: Update the JWT grant description so it states that the assertion must
include the required exp claim and that exp must be in the future; retain the
existing expiration-validation context.
- Line 11: Change the Assertion Validation heading from level 3 to level 2 so it
follows the level 1 JWT Bearer Grant title and satisfies MD001.
- Line 17: Update the first token-endpoint request example in the JWT Bearer
Grant documentation to include a supported client authentication mechanism, or
clearly label the example as abbreviated; preserve the statement that Janssen
requires client authentication.
Review comments at
@docs/janssen-server/auth-server/oauth-features/password-grant.md:
- Line 21: Update the warning sentence near “Janssen Server can support the
password grant” to use “in line with” instead of “inline with.”
Review comments at @docs/janssen-server/auth-server/oauth-features/pkce.md:
- Line 166: Remove the refresh_token field from the token response example
associated with the registration’s grant_types setting, which includes only
authorization_code; keep the remaining response fields unchanged.
Review comments at
@docs/janssen-server/auth-server/tokens/openid-userinfo-token.md:
- Line 14: Update the Userinfo endpoint description to say it returns a UserInfo
response, not always a JWT; clarify that the response is a JWT only when signing
or encryption response algorithms are configured, and otherwise is JSON.
Review comments at @docs/janssen-server/recipes/benchmark.md:
- Around line 310-312: Before step 2 in the benchmark setup, add a configuration
step or link explaining how to enable the password grant in grantTypesSupported
for an explicitly configured test deployment; keep the existing warning against
production use.

This page says clients “should use” PKCE, although Janssen requires PKCE by default. The example and explanation show PKCE, but readers can interpret the wording as optional and omit it. State the default and link to the configuration property.
Suggested wording
-For the Authorization Code Flow, clients should use PKCE with the `S256`-code challenge method.+By default, Janssen requires PKCE for the Authorization Code Flow. The server-level+[`requirePkce`](../../reference/json/properties/janssenauthserver-properties.md#requirepkce)+property controls this requirement. New integrations should use the `S256` code+challenge method.

`device_sso` scope to identify `device_token` as the field returned during
authorization-code exchange, and state that this requires the Token Exchange
grant and an authenticated session. Keep the later `device_secret` description
specific to token-exchange rotation.

Qualify the scope requirement for the claims parameter.
The later section states that the claims parameter can bypass the OpenID scopes construct when enabled. Therefore, “Clients must request” is too broad. Limit this sentence to scope-based selective disclosure or state the exception. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Proposed wording
-Clients must request the scopes needed to access the corresponding claims.+When using scope-based selective disclosure, clients must request the scopes needed to access the corresponding claims.
