The discovery.intermediateSessions.exchange method wraps the Exchange Intermediate Session endpoint. This method will fail if there is no intermediate session token stored the browser. Intermediate session tokens are generated upon successful calls to primary authenticate methods in the case where MFA is required, such as email magic link authenticate, or upon successful calls to discovery authenticate methods, such as email magic link discovery authenticate.

If this method succeeds and the Member is not required to complete MFA, the Member will be logged in, granted an active session, and the .

If this method succeeds and MFA is required, the intermediate session token will be stored .

Use the to listen for successful login events anywhere in codebase.

Parameters

number

required

Set the session lifetime to be this many minutes from now. This will return both an opaque session_token and session_jwt for this session, which will automatically be stored in the browser cookies. The session_jwt will have a fixed lifetime of five minutes regardless of the underlying session duration, and will be automatically refreshed by the SDK in the background over time.This value must be a minimum of 5 and may not exceed the maximum session duration minutes value set in the Stytch Dashboard.A successful authentication will continue to extend the session this many minutes.

string

required

The id of the Organization that the Member is joining.

string

The locale to use if an OTP code is sent to the member’s phone number as part of a secondary authentication requirement.

array[objects]

An array of authentication factors that comprise a Session.

Show properties

string

The type of authentication factor. The possible values are: email_otp, impersonated, imported, magic_link, oauth, otp, password, recovery_codes, sso, trusted_auth_token, or totp.

string

The method that was used to deliver the authentication factor. The possible values depend on the type:

email_otp: Only email.
impersonated: Only impersonation.

oauth: oauth_google, oauth_microsoft, oauth_hubspot, oauth_slack, or oauth_github. You may see an ‘exchange’ delivery method when a non-email-verifying OAuth factor originally authenticated in one organization is exchanged for a factor in another organization. This can happen during authentication flows such as session exchange. The non-email-verifying OAuth providers are Hubspot, Slack, and Github. Google is also considered non-email-verifying when the HD claim is empty. The possible exchange values are oauth_exchange_google, oauth_exchange_hubspot, oauth_exchange_slack, or oauth_exchange_github. The final possible value is oauth_access_token_exchange, if this factor came from an access token exchange flow.
- otp: Only sms.
- password: Only knowledge.

Show sources properties

string

The type of role assignment. The possible values are:

direct_assignment – an explicitly assigned Role. Directly assigned roles can be updated by passing in the roles argument to the Update Member endpoint.
email_assignment – an implicit Role granted by the Member’s email domain, regardless of their login method. Email implicit role assignments can be updated by passing in the rbac_email_implicit_role_assignments argument to the Update Organization endpoint.
sso_connection – an implicit Role granted by the Member’s SSO connection. This is currently only available for SAML connections and not for OIDC. If the Member has a SAML Member registration with the given connection, this role assignment will appear in the list. However, for authorization check purposes (in sessions authenticate or in any endpoint that enforces RBAC with session headers), the Member will only be granted the Role if their session contains an authentication factor with the specified SAML connection. SAML connection implicit role assignments can be updated by passing in the saml_connection_implicit_role_assignments argument to the Update SAML connection endpoint.
sso_connection_group – an implicit Role granted by the Member’s SSO connection and group. This is currently only available for SAML connections and not for OIDC. If the Member has a SAML Member registration with the given connection, and belongs to a specific group within the IdP, this role assignment will appear in the list. However, for authorization check purposes (in sessions authenticate or in any endpoint that enforces RBAC with session headers), the Member will only be granted the role if their session contains an authentication factor with the specified SAML connection.
scim_connection_group – an implicit Role granted by the Member’s SCIM connection and group. If the Member has a SCIM Member registration with the given connection, and belongs to a specific group within the IdP, this role assignment will appear in the list. SCIM group implicit role assignments can be updated by passing in the scim_group_implicit_role_assignments argument to the Update SCIM connection endpoint.
