[oliverbusch]

After updating to the new version, alice-ih no longer starts

Current Behavior

As part of a new installation, the POD reports an error

And shows the status CrashLoopBackOff

Expected Behavior

WARNING 2025-02-21T08:40:35.952041994 Configuration file does not exist: /app/configuration.properties.

is actually not the issue. That warning is shown anyway.

The issue is

SEVERE  2025-02-21T08:40:36.35865066   Error booting runtime: The following problems occurred during dependency injection:  
        ## class org.eclipse.edc.boot.system.injection.EdcInjectionException: The following problems occurred during dependency injection:  
        ## class org.eclipse.edc.iam.identitytrust.sts.remote.client.StsRemoteClientConfigurationExtension is missing  
        --> Configuration object "clientConfig" of type  
            [class org.eclipse.edc.iam.identitytrust.sts.remote.client.StsRemoteClientConfiguration]  
        at org.eclipse.edc.boot.system.runtime.BaseRuntime.boot(BaseRuntime.java:98)  
        at org.eclipse.edc.boot.system.runtime.BaseRuntime.main(BaseRuntime.java:79)  

The StsRemoteClientConfigurationExtension requires a the injection of a StsRemoteClientConfiguration but for some reason no StsRemoteClientConfiguration is provided which causes the error.

It must have been some changes in this file that caused this. But looking at those changes I can not figure out what the issue is. It seems weird that the error says that "clientConfig" should be of type class org.eclipse.edc.iam.identitytrust.sts.remote.client.StsRemoteClientConfiguration.

We should create a concept on how users can get a version that works all the time and a development branch, where things might become not stable.
