You can configure the supported token endpoint authentication methods for the default OIDC.SSO profile with the “idp.oidc.tokenEndpointAuthMethods” property. As its default value (it's a list) does not contain “none” type, the RPs relying on the default profile configuration cannot have “token_endpoint_auth_method" claim set to “none”. That value would be ignored if it was set.

You could globally enable the “none” type via property, but I believe it’s clearer to use the RelyingPartyOverrides -element instead and enable it only for the RPs that really require it. You probably need to use RelyingPartyOverrides anyway in order to force PKCE (p:forcePKCE) for them.

BR,
Henri.
