Error description
The OpenID Connect TAI may not load the correct configuration when running on an application server that uses a Security Domain that is not the default. The TAI configuration from the default Security Domain may be used instead.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IBM WebSphere Application Server users of * * OpenId Connect and MSD * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The OIDC TAI always loads the TAI * * configuration from the default Security * * Domain. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Install a interim fix or fix pack that * * contains * * this APAR. * **************************************************************** When the OpenID Connect (OIDC) Trust Association Interceptor (TAI) is running on a server that is using a Security Domain that is not the default Security Domain, the OIDC TAI may use the TAI configuration for the default Security Domain instead of the configured Security Domain.
Problem conclusion
When an application server starts, the trust association interceptors for the default Security Domain initialize. When the first request is received, if the server is in a different Security Domain, the TAIs will be initialized again using the settings from that Security Domain. When core security attempts to re-initialize the OIDC TAI using the new properties from the second Security Domain, they may not override all the properties from those set from the default Security Domain. The OIDC TAI is updated so that it will fully re-initialize when its initialize method is called the second time. The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.20 and 9.0.5.7.
