New issue 993: How to treat a zero max_age request parameter?
https://bitbucket.org/openid/connect/issues/993/how-to-treat-a-zero-max_age-request

Vladimir Dzhuvinov:

The core spec is not clear how an OP must treat an OpenID authentication request with `max_age=0`, and this question was raised by a developer:

1. Leave it up to the OP to decide whether the end-user is to be (re)authenticated (same as max_age omitted)?

2. Treat it as a prompt=login request?

OpenID PAPE also appears ambiguous on this. Is there an established practise when max_age=0?

Vladimir
