Error description

  • During the setup of the OpenID Connect TAI, one of the
    requirements is to import the OpenID Connect provider's signer
    certificate to the WebSphere Application Server's default
    trust store.  Generally, this depends on client environment,
    e.g.  if its Network Deployment with managed node use
    CellDefaultTrustStore, whereas in single profile instance,
    NodeDefaultTrustStore.
    
    Some customers cannot import the certificate to the
    application server's default trust store.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server users of   *
    *                  OpenID Connect Relying Party                *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The OIDC RP TAI can only use a JWK or   *
    *                      default trust store to get              *
    *                      certificate to verify signature         *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:  Install a fix pack or interim fix that      *
    *                  includes this APAR.                         *
    ****************************************************************
    If not using a JSON Web Key (JWK), the OpenID Connect Relying
    Party (RP) TAI can only obtain the certificate to verify a
    signature from the application server's default trust store.
    Customers may have use cases where they can use neither a JWK
    nor the default trust store.  In this case, an alternative
    method for specifying different trust store should be
    provided.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The following optional OIDC RP TAI property is added:
    
    =================================
    provider_<id>.trustStore
    
    This property specifies the trust store from which to obtain
    the certificate specified on the provider_<id>.signVerifyAlias
    property.
    
    If provider_<id>.trustStore is not specified, the default
    trust store is used.  On a single server, the default trust
    store is NodeDefaultTrustStore, otherwise, it is
    CellDefaultTrustStore.
    
    Example values for this property are:
    * myKeyStoreRef
    * name=myKeyStoreRef managementScope=(cell):myCell:(node):myNode
    =================================
    
    The description for the provider_<id>.signVerifyAlias property
    is updated to:
    
    =================================
    Specifies the alias of the certificate in the trust store that
    might be used to verify the signature from the OP.
    
    This property must be set if the signatureAlgorithm custom
    property is set to RS256 and you do not set the jwkEndpointUrl
    custom property to obtain the OP's JSON Web Key (JWK).
    =================================
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.0.0.15, 8.5.5.14, and 9.0.0.8.  Please refer to the
