Enhanced error to enable utilisation in merchants' decision making workflow:

Error: unsupported claim received:

Where a request contains an unsupported claim, prior versions of InAcademia redirected to the merchant RP with 'invalid request: requested claims value not allowed', InAcademia will now gracefully ignore the unsupported claim and process the request.

Error: unsupported claim format received:

Where a request contains a claim in an unsupported format, InAcademia threw an 'unknown error' error and terminated the transaction. InAcademia will now handle the error, returning 'invalid_request: ErrorDescription.= invalid+format+of+request+parameter%3A+%27claims%27’.

Error: EntityID error:

Where a request contains an unknown entityID or IdP_hint hash, InAcademia threw an 'unknown system error' error and terminated the transaction or 'access_denied: authentication failed', InAcademia will now handle the error, returning 'access_denied: entity_id error'.

Plus:

• Further enhancements to internal logging and debugging capabilities.
• Fixes for UTF-8 encoding in IdP_hinting were also deployed to production 16^th
