Client secret authentication is no longer supported
TPPs must align their Open Banking implementations to the following security best practices recommended under FAPI 2
The request object must contain an exp claim
You must use PS256 algorithms to create the request Object signing
You must use private_key_jwt instead of client secret authentication
You must receive ID tokens with PS256 signing algorithms
You must use “response type=code id_token
We’ll populate the acr claim in the ID token by default

Date of Future eIDAS Implementation?
March 2020
As of the 14th of March, TPPs with eIDAS certificates who have registered with the Open Banking Implementation Entity and are onboarding with OBWAC/OBSEAL or QWAC/QSEAL certificates, can continue to use manual onboarding via the developer portal. Using this method, the TPP logs onto the developer portal with their Open Banking credentials and can create an application to onboard. This will ensure the TPP can continue to use their existing application on the developer portal that any associated live customer consents will have been created under. If a TPP has an eIDAS certificate, and wants to onboard directly with us, this is possible via our Dynamic Client Registration.

Once this is completed, it’s important to note validation will be completed against all Payment requests against v3.1.4 or higher and all /POST event-subscriptions requests. To avoid failures you must Sandbox and Production
Key points for TPP awareness and action;
All payment requests in Sandbox and Production (as appropriate) must not include the b64 claim in the header.
Your requests will fail if they include the b64 claim after this date.
Message Signing functionality for payment requests will also be available in our TPP Sandbox environment from
Changes at TPP side to enable sending JWS signature in Payment requests (as per Waiver specs; 3.1.4 & above) can be made any time before 15th October – if the change is not made by this date then your requests will fail
Changes at TPP side to validate JWS signature in Barclays’ payment response can only be made after 15th October

Relevant AIS / PIS / CoF journeys supported for following payment account types:
Note that Account Holder Name for PCA / BCA / Pingit customers is available through PARTIES end point and through ACCOUNTS end point for Barclaycard UK, Barclaycard Commercial Payment and Barclays Corporate customers
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
In order to complete Open Banking journeys, you will need to establish the Identity Provider (IDP) authentication method for your implementation.
An IDP is a system to authenticate and gain permission from an end user - such as a customer, to access their resources e.g. their account data. For Open Banking, this is used to authenticate the customer providing the consent to the Third Party.
Examples of an IDP in Open Banking includes Barclays app (Personal and Business Banking customers) and iPortal (Barclays Corporate clients), but we have a number of methods depending on the customer type and digital channel that they use. This needs to be considered in your development.
The latest OpenID configuration (OIDC) URLs available are shown below
TPPs are reminded that latest URLS MUST be used and where a legacy URL is still being used then TPP MUST migrate to URLs below
Note - some Business Banking clients will require the Corporate Banking IDP as they use Corporate Banking services to fulfil their business requirements and some Corporate clients will require the Business Banking IDP as they use Business Banking services to fulfil their business requirements
