Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server and OpenID Connect                   *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Allow an administrator to configure     *
    *                      unique clientId and clientSecret        *
    *                      values                                  *
    *                      for the OP's introspect endpoint in     *
    *                      the                                     *
    *                      OIDC TAI.                               *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:  Install a fix pack or interim fix that      *
    *                  contains this APAR.                         *
    ****************************************************************
    In the OpenID Connect (OIDC) Relying Party (RP), the value for
    the
    clientId and clientSecret that is sent to the OpenID provider's
    (OP) introspection endpoint is the same as that for the
    authentication endpoint.  If the administrator needs to send
    different values for clientId and clientSecret for each
    endpoint,
    they cannot do that.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The following properties are added to the OIDC TAI:
    
    provider_<id>. introspectClientId
    Values:
    The default value is the value for provider_(id).clientId.
    Description:
    Specifies the clientId to include in the requests to the OpenId
    Provider's introspection endpoint.
    
    provider_<id>.introspectClientSecret
    Values:
    The default value is the value for provider_(id).clientSecret
    Description:
    Specifies the clientSecret to include in the requests to the
    OpenId Provider's introspection endpoint.
    
    The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix packs
    8.5.5.19 and 9.0.5.6. For more information, see 'Recommended
