Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty    *
    *                  Profile administrators of OAuth 2.0         *
    *                  services                                    *

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Liberty profile OAuth 2.0 services can  *
    *                      block all requests if an error occurs   *
    *                      when loading a custom form              *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Liberty profile OAuth 2.0 services allow customized consent and
    error forms. If the loading of a custom form does not return,
    all requests are blocked.  An example of an issue with a
    protected resource is when a back-end server that the protected
    resource uses is unavailable.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Liberty profile OAuth 2.0 service is updated to optimize the
    access to custom forms with a Semaphore instead of a
    synchronized lock.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
    pack 8.5.5.8.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
