Error description

  • When the OpenId Connect (OIDC) Trust Association Interceptor
    (TAI) is configured to obtain configuration information from a
    discovery endpoint, it may include a revoke endpoint.  When a
    revoke endpoint is configured, the TAI will always send a
    request to the revoke endpoint.  If the administrator does not
    want to do this, they must configure the TAI manually instead
    of using discovery.
    
    You can disable the userInfo endpoint, but you cannot disable
    the revoke endpoint.

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server users of   *
    *                  OIDC                                        *

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Add a property to disable the revoke    *
    *                      endpoint to the OIDC TAI.               *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:  Install a fix pack or interim fix that      *
    *                  contains this APAR.                         *
    ****************************************************************
    When the OIDC TAI is configured with a revoke endpoint, the TAI
    will always call the endpoint when sessions are removed from the
    cache.  If an administrator does not want to revoke tokens and
    the
    property is set with discovery, they are not able to disable the
    revoke.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The following property is updated to the OIDC TAI:
    
    Name: provider_(id).revokeEndpointEnabled
    Values: true/false, default=true
    Description:
    Set this property to false if you want to ignore the setting for
    the provider_(id).revokeEndpointUrl property.  This applies if
    the endpoint was obtained either from a TAI property or
    discovery.
    
    The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix packs
    8.5.5.22 and 9.0.5.12. For more information, see 'Recommended
