plan.md

PLAN:
- mechanics: Define the technical components, including policy syntax, token types, and protected resource attributes.
- operations: Outline the processes for token lifecycle management, auditing, and integration with external authentication systems.

The final report will synthesize technical configuration rules with operational management procedures to provide a comprehensive overview of implementing Consul ACLs for secure service discovery.

### Findings

**Token Lifecycle Management**
*   **Issuance and Generation**: The process involves creating various token types, including Access Tokens, ID Tokens, and Refresh Tokens (e.g., in OIDC flows) to facilitate user sessions [https://deepwiki.com/jenkinsci/oic-auth-plugin/3.3-token-lifecycle-management].
*   **Storage and Validation**: Tokens are stored and validated throughout a session; validation typically includes checking signatures, expiration, and specific claims like `acr` (Authentication Context Class Reference) [https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_admin/index.html, https://deepwiki.com/jenkinsci/oic-auth-plugin/3.3-token-lifecycle-management].
*   **Refresh Mechanism**: Refresh tokens are used to obtain new access tokens once the original access token expires, maintaining session continuity without requiring re-authentication [https://deepwiki.com/jenkinsci/oic-auth-plugin/3.3-token-lifecycle-management].
*   **Expiration and Revocation**: Managed through expiration timestamps or revocation processes (e.g., using CRLs or OCSP in PKI contexts) to ensure compromised or old credentials cannot be used [https://www.remoterocketship.com/company/gdit/jobs/senior-pki-credential-lifecycle-management-engineer-united-states-remote/].

**Auditing Processes**
*   **Event Logging**: Critical token management events—such as Personal Access Token (PAT) lifecycle changes or token creation/usage—should be captured in Audit Logs [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/release-notes/2021/sprint-
