How to refresh tokens when returning from the Identity Provider after editing user profile data

Given the following scenario: In the SPA we have a link to edit the user Profile on our node.js Identity Provider. After the user changes some information (e.g. language preference, name, etc.) when returning to the SPA the information is not updated from Identity Provider but uses the previous tokens that have the old information about the user.

Is there a native way to force the token refresh when returning to the SPA? Like a query parameter that can be attached to the URL for:

<a href={`${userOidc.profile}?refreshTokens=true`}>Edit Profile</a>

Or is there any other way to force the token refresh when returning from different Identity Provider Server?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Hi @radu-cs ,

Thank you for your issue. The renewTokens is available for that.

You can use it like that : https://github.com/AxaFrance/oidc-client/blob/da88573ed9574f236b486eaf9b0302f9b387e503/examples/react-oidc-demo/src/Home.tsx#L36C149-L36C167
