APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When there are two or more similarly named OAuth clients
    DataPower might
    not locate the correct OAuth client information
     to handle the token that is generated.  The end result is the
    token is rejected as not valid.
    

Local fix

  • Avoid similar names (such as client-01-abc and client-01) for
    OAuth clients in the same OAuth client group.
    

Problem summary

  • Affected are users adding an OAuth client to a group.
    
    If the a new client configuration changes to OAuth Group is not
    saved (Apply), then there
    is a small window, that during which another client with the
    same spelling at
    the beginning might be selected for handling the payload. For
    example, a
    new client with name oauth-client-abc is created, and added to
    the group, but the group information is not applied, or saved,
    then
    another client with name oauth-client-ab might be used instead.
    

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix
