  Hi Rajeev, I found just a small issue, if we do not set a expire time for the refresh token generated it will take the same ExpireTimeSpan of the Access Token therefore we won't be able to request a resource access because AccessToken has expired and we won't be able to generate another AccessToken with the RefreshToken since this one also has expired.

    Hey Rajeev, by the way your article helped me with my Refresh Token implementation, it is great. Now, correct me if I am wrong but my understanding of the Refresh Token purpose is to use it to request another Access Token (without sending additional information of the user) if the previous Access Token got expired, right? If both of them got expired at the same time well, it does not make sense at all to generate a Refresh Token because it won't be able to be used. Does that make sense? I was just saying when the Refresh Token is created we must set an Expiry Date for it. The Access Token already has an Expiry Date but if we do not set a different one (larger than the Access Token) for the Refresh Token this token will take the same Expiry Date of the Access Token and we won't be able to use it unless just before the Access Token gets expired we request another Access Token using the Refresh Token, well, in that case it is not necessary to set an expiry date for the Refresh Token. I hope to be clear. Thanks again for your article.

    Dear Dany R tell me one thing? at what circumstances you wants to expire the token? you wont keep it alive for life time those tokens?? either you have to fix the time or set on the user login and log out. It is all depends on your logic.
