It is probably still several weeks too early. That said, if you are willing to accept it might have breaking changes at any point, then more testing is a good thing. In general though, it should be working end to end, I’ve personally been testing with our own OP, the OpenID certification test suite, and Google.

I am currently ironing out issues with the plugin's assembly so it can be installed as a plugin using the normal IdP Plugin installer. You will however, also need a new version of the oidc-commons plugin as well - as lots of the new functionality is inside that library.

I will talk to Scott, but it might be something we could release as an alpha type build - but as a properly package plugin - in the new few weeks.

Yes, so as I say above, if you get all the correct things installed, it should be ‘working’ just not stable as you say.

Obviously very happy to take any feedback you have. Here is the issues board if you wanted to highlight or discuss something (https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/browse/JOIDCRP)
