3.2.9.2. Token introspection and UserInfo cache
Code flow access tokens are not introspected unless they are expected to be the source of roles. However, they will be used to get UserInfo. There will be one or two remote calls with the code flow access token if the token introspection, UserInfo, or both are required.
For more information about using the default token cache or registering a custom cache implementation, see Token introspection and UserInfo cache.
