Environment

 

  Policy Server 12.8SP5 on RedHat 7;

 

Resolution

 

The jar openidconnectserver.jar has a dependency on the log4j version.

To bypass this problem, it's advisable to run the command with the out-of-the-box configuration for log4j delivered by the Policy Server 12.8SP5. At the very end of the upgrade, then apply the log4j patch to 2.17.1.
