NoRestrictions in 2018-01-31 London (OIDC)
R1No Value Added Sevices are supported. Future releases will support additional VAS-services
R2Signing with the BankID IDP is currently not supported over OpenID Connect. Such support is planned for a future release.

OIDC client_secret_basic and client_secret_post  are currently the only supported authentication method for OIDC Clients. Other authentication methods may be added on customer demand.

R7POST method is not supported by Authorize endpoint
R8Using the OIDC with iframes does not work out-of-the box on Safari v11.0.1 and later. The reason is Safari's recent policy to disallow setting of cookies from iframed 3rd-party javascript

Caveats

The following table summarizes caveats in this release of the OIDC Provider from BankID

NoCaveats in 2018-01-31 London (OIDC)
C1Access Tokens for the TINFO-service is returned from the Token endpoint even if the TINFO-service as such is not supported in this release
C2The nnin_altsub claim is never part of an Access Token even if the OIDC Client in question receives this claim in the ID Token. Resource Servers that are entitled to receive nnin_altsub must be configred to for such access and retrieve this claim via introspection 
C3OIDC clients that are not entitled to nnin_altsub may still make request to Resources Servers that depend on this claim. Resource Servers that are entitled to receive nnin_altsub must be configred to for such access and retrieve this claim via introspection   
C4The module name for the JS Connector has changed, thus breaking backwards compatibility with its pre-decessor releases (2017-12-06 Luxembourg (OIDC) and 2017-09-19 xID Demo (OIDC))
C5JS Connector login window may not close on Internet Explorer / Edge browsers when Cross-domain messaging is used. If you follow the methods demonstrated in the example using cross-domain messaging from the redirect_uri to the JS Connector instance on the parent page, and you use window method, then you will most likely experience that Internet Explorer blocks the communication between the window and the parent. This can happen when the window being opened is on a different domain than the parent site. To work around this problem, you need to setup an endpoint on your domain as the doInit oauth_url parameter which then redirects to the proper Authorize endpoint. This way the window is opened on your own domain and cross domain messaging should work.
C6

Missing or empty query parameteres when calling JS Connector doConnect in certain cases. This is probably due to doInit not being called before doConnect is called for some reason. The oidc-connector-loaded event waits for the page to be loaded before firing. For example, if you call doInit when the OIDC loaded event fires, then if the page load slowly you may have a small window where doConnect is triggered before the doInit call was made. A workaround could be to always call doInit before doConnect or go for synchronous loading.
