PH11522: UNNECESSARY OIDC LOGIN WHEN RUNNING A PROMPTED CLASSIC VIEWER REPORT IN THE BACKGROUND THAT RETURNS AN ERROR AND CLOSING IT

APAR status

• Closed as unreproducible.

Error description

• When using OIDC authentication and running a non-interactive
  report (classic viewer) with prompts in the background that
  returns an error (any error), closing the error message (either
  by clicking OK or clicking the X in the top right) will cause an
  unnecessary call to the OIDC completeAuth.jsp.
  
  This is a problem when using OIDC providers that rely on
  authorization code flows where the code can expire. In this
  scenario, it will result in a "CA Initialization Error" because
  the auth code has expired by this time.
