  ****************************************************************
  The OpenID Connect (OIDC) Relying Party (RP) Trust Association
  Interceptor (TAI) improperly obtains the default SSL socket
  factory, which can cause an SSL handshake failure when
  attempting to connect to the token endpoint:
  [3/23/18 1:30:57:659 CDT] 000000dd WebAuthentica E SECJ0126E:
  Trust Association failed during validation. The exception is
  com.ibm.websphere.security.WebTrustAssociationFailedException:
  CWTAI2007E: The OpenID Connect relying party (RP) encountered
  a failure during the login. The exception is [Failed to make a
  request to OP server]. Check the logs for details that lead to
  this exception.

  This issue may manifest itself in ways other than an SSL
  Handshake failure.
  

Problem conclusion

• The OIDC TAI is updated to obtain the default SSL socket
  factory in the manner that is required by WebSphere Application
  Server core security.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.14 and 9.0.0.9.  Please refer to the Recommended
