Issue/Introduction

After upgrading to 12.8.08.01, a Null Pointer Exception during OIDC transactions is present, however the transactions are successful.

Example:

[139853706544896][BaseAccessTokenTunel.java][formClientObject][][Unable to fetch jwtClientAuthEnableAudValidation. Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException: JWTClientAuthEnableAudValidation must not be null
   at java.util.Objects.requireNonNull(Objects.java:290)

 

[139853706544896][BaseAccessTokenTunel.java][getReuseJWTForClientAuthentication][][Unable to fetch reuseJWTForClientAuthentication. Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException: ReuseJWTForClientAuthentication must not be null
   at java.util.Objects.requireNonNull(Objects.java:290)

 

The problem is that even though they are successful, various log monitoring tools pick up these messages and create alerts.

Environment

Any OS

Cause

NullPointerException was not being handled properly.
