IDAAS-core release notes
This section contains release notes for the IDAAS-core module of the OneWelcome Identity Platform.
We are releasing IDAAS-core on a 1-3 week basis. A release does not require downtime and occurs during European business hours.
The releases are backwards compatible. However, we extend the API contract (adding new fields to a JSON object). If breaking changes are required in the API, a new API version is created, and the old version is deprecated. You have six months to migrate to the new API version.
In the release notes, we mention new features and bug fixes. If anything is unclear, feel free to contact Thales Support.

acr
values. Theseacr_values
are also exposed in the Discovery Endpoint - We added configuration to configure the SSO Session on a tenant level. This allows customers to set the default length and the maximum length of an SSO session.

We also clarified that the old config referred to the max lifetime, calculated from when the first access token was issued. Now, both validities can be configured.
- If an account gets blocked or deleted from an IdP of the type CIM, we now clear all active tokens and remove all registered devices.
Release date 2023-09-28
Features
- The new
Map assertion attributes
feature for SAML IDPs, now also maps the attributes in the SAML assertion from the external IDP to claims in the UserInfo endpoint.

experimental feature
to connect to a new IDP type: ID Broker. This is a new component that supports federated authentication towards external identity schemes. - We added a new

feature for SAML IDPs. This feature enables mapping all attributes in the SAML assertion from the external IDP to claims in the ID Token. Via Attribute mapping, you can limit this mapping to only include specific claims. If you have enabled the User Info integration, the assertion attributes will be overwritten if they have the same name.
Improvements
- We improved the mapping of "expected error responses" from OAuth/OIDC IdP types, e.g. the
login_required
error is now mapped to this eventAUTHN REQUEST LOGIN REQUIRED
and no longer toIDP OAUTH RECEIVED ERROR
. - We improved our production roll-out process.
- We now also support a
.
character in the name of a scope.
Bugs
- The length was limited to 20 characters when managing scopes via the API. We now aligned this to 255, which was already possible via the UI.

TOKEN REQUEST EXPIRED REFRESH TOKEN
, which replaces theTOKEN REQUEST INVALID REFRESH TOKEN
event when a refresh token is expired. - Added a new event type,
TOKEN REQUEST FINGER PRINT EXPIRED REFRESH TOKEN
, which replaces theTOKEN REQUEST FINGER PRINT INVALID REFRESH TOKEN
event when a refresh token is expired. - We started logging the length of a refresh token in the details of the
TOKEN REQUEST INVALID REFRESH TOKEN
event.

are requested, a specificacr_value
is requested, or whenmax_age
indicates that theauth_time
needs to be refreshed.
Bugs
- Resolved an issue where a Logout request failed if the
id_token_hint
contained a token with multiple audiences.
Release date 2023-08-07
Features
- We have optimized how we handle our Single sign-on (SSO) experience when multiple clients use the same IdP. We decided to use the existing OneWelcome session when new clients initiate an authentication request with
prompt=none
and theRespond to silent authentication requests based on current session state
feature is enabled for that client. Before, the request was forwarded to the configured IdP for that web client.
Release date 2023-08-03
Improvements
- We added an additional setting for the App2Web integration for the Tulip type idp that allows setting the "Used authentication methods". This is required for setups where 2FA is required on the Tulip side.

Release date: 2022-06-09
Features
- In the authentication response, we now indicate which external IDP was used by the end-user to authenticate. E.g. when a user uses Digid, we fill the
acr
withurn:com:onegini:saml:idp-alias:digid
.
Improvement
- It's now impossible to configure an API based custom authenticator with the PCKE grant type.
Bug fixes
- We aligned the
exp
value in our token introspection endpoint with the RFC 7662. It now is an integer timestamp, measured in the number of seconds since January 1 1970 UTC. To use this new value, please switch to the v2 of our token introspection endpoint.
Release date: 2021-09-14
Features
- Added the ability to delete access and refresh tokens when using the End-session endpoint for OpenID
Connect. This is enabled by default for clients with the authentication method
PKCE
. Refer to the
OpenID Connect configuration for more information - Added the token revocation endpoint to the OpenID Connect discovery endpoint.
- Improved the integrity check for mobile apps. This improved integrity check is required for new mobile apps introduced to the Google Play Store after August 1st, 2021. The existing apps, both running on Android and iOS, will continue to work without any changes. Still, it is recommended to plan an update of the OneWelcome SDK and use the improved integrity check.
Bug fixes
- The OpenID End-session endpoint did not properly handle encoded parameters when it was called via HTTP POST. This prevented users from being redirected back to the website after logout. This has been fixed.
- Several endpoints for Mobile Authentication returned responses in a different format than documented. These responses have been fixed.
Release date: 2021-05-10
Features
- It is now possible to configure multiple redirect URLs for mobile apps. This makes it possible to change the app scheme of the mobile app in a new version while the existing app installations use the old app scheme.
- Relying Parties (RP) can resolve user attributes from Access by calling the User Info endpoint or by requesting an ID Token. Both means are defined by OpenID Connect (OIDC) standard. The returned set of identity related claims couldn't be modified, extended or filtered other than by using scopes. With the new User Details Customization Web Hook serves these purposes.
- When the user device domain state changes, Access will publish a corresponding event to the event bus notifying all interested parties about the change. Device domain state changes are: a new user device registration, deregistration, user logging in with the device, or mobile authentication enrollment changes.
- The process of registering a new mobile application requires both parties, the device, and the server, to have their time/date settings set correctly. Some users are explicitly modifying their time which prevents them from successfully finishing the onboarding process. To improve the user experience Access will handle such situations more gracefully by detecting clock skew and informing the client about the root cause of the rejection.
Improvement
- When Access failed to successfully send a PUSH notification via Apple Push Notification Service (APNS), it returned a generic error to the client. To help diagnose the root cause of the issue, Access will log more detailed information about why the notification got rejected in the corresponding event.
Bug fixes
- The mobile applications that were using the Custom Registration feature had to send additional request in order to obtain an ID Token. This will no longer be required as the ID Token will be returned to the client along with the Access Token when configured.
- Users who are either members of many Delegated Administration for Business Partners (DABP) groups or are having many DABP policies assigned, could experience issues when logging out from DABP or OneWelcome Console applications. The logout request in such scenarios will no longer be rejected.
Release date: 2021-03-09
- First official release of the access components.
