    * RECOMMENDATION:  Install a fix pack or interim fix that      *
    *                  includes                                    *
    *                  this APAR.                                  *
    ****************************************************************
    The scope claim is not required in the response from
    introspection
    endpoint on an OpenID Provider (OP).  If the OpenID Connect
    (OIDC)
    Relying Party (RP) Trust Association Interceptor (TAI) receives
    a
    response without a scope claim from an introspection endpoint,
    an
    error will occur.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The OIDC TAI is updated so that it does not require the scope cl
    in an response from an introspection endpoint.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
    pack 8.5.5.18 and 9.0.5.3.  Please refer to the Recommended Upda
