Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server                                      *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WebTrustAssociationFailedException is   *
*                      thrown by the OpenID Connect Relying    *
*                      Party during authorization code flow.   *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:  Use the new OpenID Connect RP TAI property  *
*                  contentType to change the default value of  *
*                  contentType that is is set on the           *
*                  response.                                   *
****************************************************************
When the OpenID Connect Relying party sends the response to
the callback from the OpenID Connect provider, it sets the
contentType on the response to "text/html" which causes
problems with some browsers like Safari which expect a
different contentType to be set on the response.

Problem conclusion

To prevent the WebTrustAssociationFailedException, a new
Relying Party Trust Association Interceptor custom property
"contentType" was added. This property can be used to change
the default value of contentType "text/html" that is set on
the response.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 8.0.0.13, 8.5.5.11 and 9.0.0.1.  Please refer to the
