Description

The specification is unclear about what to do when redirect_uri parameter (or response_uri for that matter) and the Client Identifier Prefix redirect_uri are both present and do not match.

Section 8.2 states that response_uri or redirect_uri parameter when present MUST be used. Therefore section 5.9.3 should note under redirect_uri that the parameter if present takes priority or mention that an error response (which?) is to be sent.

Research direction

Read sections 8.2 and 5.9.3 of the OpenID4VP specification, focusing on the interaction between the redirect_uri or response_uri parameter and the Client Identifier Prefix redirect_uri. Clarify which value takes priority or specify the required error response when they do not match; the specification is done when this case has one unambiguous outcome.
