Local fix

Problem summary

  • Customers would run into this if they use the introspection
    endpoint as third-party OAuth Provider in Consumer API and get
    an error from that endpoint that included the changed error
    message in question. The final message to the original request
    included the changed error message.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Changed the error response to the original requester if there is
    an error on the third-party OAuth Provider. Message changed from
    "Internal Server Error" to "Forbidden".  All customers using v5
    APIC 5089+ and v5c on either v2018.4.1.13+ or v10.0.0.1 should
    see the change.
    

Temporary fix
