Description

To support advances usecases in the context of SRAM and European Universities (Eurotech), we need to support so-called Remote Token Introspection. Basically this is a new spec that specifies how an AS/OIDC proxy can introspect tokens that have been issued by a different AS or proxy (both of which need to be part of the same trust framework).

Start by reviewing the project's existing authentication and token-introspection entry points; done would require an agreed design and support for the described cross-provider trust flow.
