APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Using OAuth2 provider with WebSphere Application Server, when
    the getExpiredCount method of the
    com.ibm.ws.security.oauth20.plugins.db.CachedDBTokenStore class
    is called, it causes an SQLException to be thrown and the
    method returns -1 (and therefore expired tokens are never
    removed).

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: OAuth TAI SQL query may cause           *
    *                      java.sql.SQLException                   *

    * RECOMMENDATION:  Install a fix pack that contains this       *
    *                  APAR.                                       *
    ****************************************************************
    When the OAuth Trust Association Interceptor (TAI) uses a
    a Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) database store, it uses
    specific SQL queries to retrieve expired tokens.  Some of the
    SQL queries it uses may be incompatible with datbases such as
    Informix.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The OAuth TAI is updated so that it can use an alternate query
    to retrieve expired tokens.  A new OAuth provider
    configuration property is added:
    
    oauthjdbc.AlternateSelectCountQuery
    
    If, at runtime, you receive a java.sql.SQLException, set this
    custom property to true in your OAuth provider configuration
    file:
    
    <parameter name="oauthjdbc.AlternateSelectCountQuery" type="ws"
      customizable="false">
      <value>true</value>
    </parameter>
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 7.0.0.43, 8.0.0.12 and 8.5.5.10.  Please refer to the
