May 2026: Delivered the OIDC/OAuth Resource Metadata Handling feature in OpenLiberty/open-liberty, enabling configurable serving of protected resource metadata in the OIDC client and RFC 9728 support for resource_metadata in WWW-Authenticate challenges. Implemented dynamic URL construction and expanded test coverage. This work enhances interoperability with OIDC/OAuth providers, strengthens security around resource metadata, and reduces integration friction for clients. Included changes augmenting response headers with resource_metadata and updating OAuth handling to align with RFC 9728 for improved compliance and interoperability.

March 2026: Delivered extensive enhancements to the InMemoryIdentityStore testing framework for Jakarta Security in OpenLiberty/open-liberty, expanding validation coverage and improving reliability. Implemented new tests for AES and badly encoded password scenarios, refined test suites for in-memory identity store functionality, and expanded coverage for password encoding schemes and authentication flows. Updated server configuration handling, added new test resources, and improved logging and maintainability. Resolved conflicts, removed redundant tests, and strengthened test lifecycle with explicit server stop and restart steps. This work reduces security risk due to configuration gaps and provides faster, more reliable feedback on security feature readiness.
