Research direction

Reproduce the mismatch with the WAC tests' run-against-css.sh entry point and inspect the DPoPWebIdExtractor path that verifies the token issuer against trusted OpenID issuers. Trace where NSS produces or reads the issuer value; done when the token and configuration values agree and the CSS login no longer reports an issuer mismatch.

Description

authentication blocker bug

When trying to log in to CSS using the run-against-css.sh script of the WAC tests, you get:

2021-08-11T12:45:33.820Z [DPoPWebIdExtractor] warn: Error verifying WebID via DPoP-bound access token: The access token issuer doesn't match its associated WebID's trusted OIDC issuers.
Actual: https://solidcommunity.net/
Expected: https://solidcommunity.net

So maybe we can change NSS to remove that trailing slash from the issuer?
