Problem conclusion
The OIDC RP TAI is updated to allow the nonce parameter to be included on the initial authentication request to the OP. The following OIDC TAI custom property is added: provider_.nonceEnabled Valid values for this property are true and false (default). When this property is set to true, a nonce parameter is sent to the OpenID Connect provider on the initial authentication request. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.17 and 9.0.5.3.
