Error description

  • The OpenID Connect (OIDC) Relying Party sends an invalid html
head, which may result in a 401 response from the OP.

There is an extra </script> in the header.  For
example:
<html><head><script type="text/javascript"
language="javascript">var loc=window.location.href;document.cook
ie="OIDCREQURL_-123123123_4563123609549="+loc+"; expires=Wed,
24 Jun 2020 20:40:09 UTC; path=/;
secure"</script></script>...

Local fix

  • Disable the url cookie (useUrlCookies=false) or javascript.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server and OpenID Connect                   *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: There is an extra </script> in the      *
*                      JavaScript that is created by the OIDC  *
*                      during RP login.                        *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:  Install a fix pack or interim fix that      *
*                  contains this APAR.                         *
****************************************************************
When the OpenID Connect (OIDC) Trust Association Interceptor
(TAI)
sends an interactive login request to an OpenID provider, a
JavaScript is created to send the login request to the server.
This script contains an extra </script>.

Problem conclusion

  • The OIDC TAI is updated so that only one </script> is included i
the JavaScript that it sends to the OP.

A workaround for this issue is to set
provider_(id).useJavaScript=false in the OIDC TAI configuration
for the provider.

The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix packs
8.5.5.19 and 9.0.5.5.  For more information, see 'Recommended
Updates for WebSphere Application Server':
