  • Patent number: 11252146
    Abstract: Managing user sessions in a networked computing environment. A method includes, at an identity provider computer system, providing a first id token to a resource provider for an entity. The first id token has therein a first policy check interval having a value defining a period when the first id token should be revalidated. Due to expiration of the first policy check interval, a first refresh token is received from a resource provider computer system that received the first id token. As a result of receiving the first refresh token from the resource provider computer system, the identity provider computer system evaluates conditional access policy for the entity. If the identity provider computer system determines that the conditional access policy for the entity has been met, the identity provider computer system provides a new id token and a new refresh token to the resource provider computer system.
