Where should you store refresh token?
Access token and refresh token shouldn’t be stored in the local/session storage, because they are not a place for any sensitive data. Hence I would store the access token in a httpOnly cookie (even though there is CSRF) and I need it for most of my requests to the Resource Server anyway.
Where do you store Spa tokens?
Tokens can be stored for SPAs in either of the following ways:
- The session store. It’s useful, since it’s not persisted before the browser restarts.
- The application memory. It’s more volatile compared to the session store.
- The local storage. This is not recommended as it is a longer lived storage.
Do we store JWT token in database?
JWTs can be used as an authentication mechanism that does not require a database. The server can avoid using a database because the data store in the JWT sent to the client is safe.

When to use OAuth 2.0 on behalf of refresh tokens?
When developing web services, you may need to get tokens using the OAuth 2.0 On-Behalf-Of (OBO) flow. The OBO flow serves the use case where an application invokes a service or web API, which in turn needs to call another service or web API.
Where to store refresh and access token if not in local?
Storing the refresh and access token is in JavaScript memory is generally considered much better than cookies or other browser storage. You still don’t need to worry about asking the user to login every time. The authorisation server (Auth0 in your case) maintains its own session (SSO Session) behind the scenes which is persistent.
How are refresh tokens stored in azure key vault?
Securely store only the refresh tokens, with as much rigor as if they were access tokens. If necessary, you can revoke refresh tokens if they become compromised. This solution uses Azure Key Vault, Azure Functions, and Azure DevOps to securely update and store OBO refresh tokens.
When to use OAuth 2.0 on behalf of ( Obo ) flow?
When developing web services, you may need to get tokens using the OAuth 2.0 On-Behalf-Of (OBO) flow. The OBO flow serves the use case where an application invokes a service or web API, which in turn needs to call another service or web API. OBO propagates the delegated user identity and permissions through the request chain.
