Hi,

Janne Lauros, one of the Finish developers, posted this info earlier

Once we are back in the end of July we will work on, hopefully full-time, new release based on Idp 3.4 codebase. The result is hopefully our first beta release of the plugin. This is also the point we will start the official openid connect certification process.

On our last call, there was considerable discussion about the various
available options for OAuth/OIDC implementations. Issues/concerns with
the various options were also noted.

The notes include this mention of the Shib IDP support currently under
development:

I'm think we may want to send a suggest to Janne and Henri describing
this concern ?

Just a thought ...
