Original: Implementing RFC 8693 Token Exchange in AgentGateway: A Complete Tutorial

Short summary

A comprehensive tutorial on implementing RFC 8693 OAuth 2.0 Token Exchange in AgentGateway, the Rust-based AI agent proxy from AAIF. It covers how to safely delegate user identity to agents by exchanging broad user tokens for scoped, short-lived downstream credentials. The guide includes architecture, configuration, three exchange grant types, and production considerations.

  • •RFC 8693 token exchange replaces broad user tokens with scoped, short-lived credentials for AI agents
  • •AgentGateway supports three exchange mechanisms: RFC 8693, JWT Bearer (RFC 7523), and Microsoft Entra OBO
  • •Tutorial covers end-to-end setup with Keycloak, token caching, security boundaries, and troubleshooting

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
