****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The OIDC TAI does not handle URL        *
*                      fragments properly                      *
****************************************************************

****************************************************************
When a request is made to a resource protected by the OpenId
Connect (OIDC) Relying Party (RP), if the request contains URL
fragments, those fragments are lost during the authentication
process.
For instance, if a request is made to
http://abc.com/action.html#one, after login, the user will be
redirected to http://abc.com/action.html.

Problem conclusion

The OIDC TAI is updated to preserve URL fragments on requests
made to a protected resource.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 8.0.0.14, 8.5.5.13, and 9.0.0.6.  Please refer to the
