Connect2id server 15.2

2024-02-16

This Connect2id server release ships an update to the plugin interface (SPI) for sourcing claims (also called attributes) that get provided to client applications at the UserInfo endpoint and may also be fed into ID tokens and access tokens. The change enables plugins to find out the browser session ID where the claims sourcing was authorised.

The included plugin that delegates the claims sourcing to an HTTP endpoint was updated accordingly, so that web hooks that source such claims for the Connect2id server can find out the session ID or receive the complete session object. Note that the HTTP claims source plugin must be explicitly configured to receive these details, they will not be included by default.

This release also adds a measure to prevent the dispatch of back-channel logout notifications when the issuer alias mode PERSISTED_GRANT_ISOLATION is configured.

More information is available in the release notes below.

The dockerfile for the c2id/c2id-server-min image received a significant update that can be considered breaking. The c2id.war is now being copied unzipped to the docker image, to make it easier to edit its configurations files, for example the WEB-INF/log4j.xml that controls logging.
