Security.xml fails to get synchronized.
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
After enabling security on a node, the security.xml file is not synchronized causing errors in the node agent log. Error messages similar to the following occur.

[5/1/03 12:30:49:779 MDT] 3031efc1 RoleBasedAuth A SECJ0321E: Role
based authorization is caller in role failed for security name
xyx-ldap.xyx-company.ca:389/uid=was5admin,o=xyx-company,c=ca, accessId
xyx-ldap.xyx-company.ca:389/uid=was5admin,o=xyx-company,c=ca, and role name
administrator.
[5/1/03 12:30:49:782 MDT] 3031efc1 FileRepositor A ADMR0021E: User
xyx-ldap.xyx-company.ca:389/uid=was5admin,o=xyx-company,c=ca does not have the
required role for accessing restricted document cells/xyx-node/security.xml.

The was5admin id is defined as the "Server User ID" and therefore should have enough privileges.
All other synchronizations finished successfully.
 
Cause
The Server User ID was defined using the fully qualified DN rather than the short name.
 
Resolving the problem
In the Administrative console>Security>User Registries>LDAP

Change the Server User ID from a full qualified name to the short name.

(i.e. From: uid=was5admin,o=xyx-company,c=ca
To: was5admin)
