Special Instructions: 
For any cell that is running WebSphereOauth20SP.ear, the fix will not be active in that cell the until the installed WebSphereOauth20SP.ear is updated with the new ear this  interim fix places in the installableApps directory.

You can tell if the OAuth ear file is installed in your cell by checking for a directory called WebSphereOauth20SP.ear in the (CELL_ROOT)/applications directory.

If WebSphereOauth20SP.ear is installed in your cell, do the following after applying this fix:

        Update WebSphereOauth20SP.ear, from the (WAS_HOME)/installableApps directory on your stand-alone application server or deployment manager.
        If you are using network deployment, ensure that all of the nodes are synchronized.
