Users encounter an authentication failure for Java clients or
an Error 500 for web clients. The problem is a
NegativeArraySizeException occurs in SecurityAttributeList

were sign extended yeilding a negative value for the final
integer after bitwise operations completed. * RECOMMENDATION: *****************************************************************Users encounter an authentication failure for Java clients oran Error 500 for web clients.
