Research direction

Start at the @asgardeo/react signIn entry point and trace how an active session currently skips a new authorize request. Define and document the forceful signIn behavior, then verify that step-up authentication can trigger a new authorization request without requiring logout or manual session clearing.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Type/Improvement
Current Limitation

Currently, when there’s an existing active session, the SDK automatically skips sending a new authorize request and proceeds with the current session context.
However, there are scenarios where developers may want to forcefully trigger a new authorization request, even if an active session exists — for example, to:

  • Do step up authentication
  • etc.

Without this capability, developers need to manually clear session data or perform a logout, which results in a poor user experience.

Suggested Improvement

Introduce a way to do forceful signIn maybe a additional param or a arg in the signIn method.
