LOCAL FIX: PROBLEM SUMMARY USERS AFFECTED: Users of the default messaging provider for WebSphere Application Server V6.1, creating client JMS connections to a service integration bus, with global security disabled. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An InvocationTargetException may be thrown while attempting to establish a connection to a service integration bus, when global security is disabled. RECOMMENDATION: None A java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException may be thrown, caused by a java.lang.NullPointerException while attempting to establish a client JMS connection to a service integration bus. The stack of the NullPointerException which causes the InvocationTargetException contains the following method: com.ibm.ws.sib.security.auth.AuthUtilsImpl .getOpaqueAuthorizationToken() The service integration bus was incorrectly invoking a method which should not be called in an environment where global security is disabled. PROBLEM CONCLUSION: This APAR resolves the issue. Directions to apply fix: Fix applies to Editions: Release 6.0 _x Application Server (Express or BASE) _x Network Deployment (ND) __ WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation (WBISF) __ Edge Components __ Developer __ Extended Deployment (XD) Install Fix to: Method: x_ Application Server Nodes __ Deployment Manager Nodes __ Both NOTE: The user must: * Have Administrative rights in Windows, or be the Actual Root User in a UNIX environments. * Logged in with the same authority level when unpacking a fix, fix pack or refresh pack. * Be at V6.0.2.2 or newer of the Update Installer. This can be checked by reviewing the level of the Update Installer in file /updateinstaller/version.txt. The Update Installer can be downloaded from the following link: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg21205991 For detailed instructions to Extract the Update Installer see the following Technote: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg21205400 1) Copy PKxxxxx.pak file directly to the maintenance directory 2) Shutdown WebSphere Manually execute setupCmdLine.bat in Windows or . ./setupCmdLine.sh in Unix from the WebSphere instance that maintenance is being applied to. 3) Launch Update Installer 4) Enter the installation location of the WebSphere product you want to update. 5) Select the "Install maintenance package" operation. 6) Enter the file name of the maintenance package to install (PKxxxxx.pak file which was copied in the maintenance directory). 7) Install the maintenance package. 8) Restart WebSphere Directions to remove fix: NOTE: * The user must have Administrative rights in Windows, or be the Actual Root User in a UNIX environments. * FIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED * DO NOT REMOVE A FIX UNLESS ALL FIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN REMOVED * YOU MAY REAPPLY ANY REMOVED FIX Example: If your system has fix1, fix2, and fix3 applied in that order and fix2 is to be removed, fix3 must be removed first, fix2 removed, and fix3 re-applied. 1) Shutdown WebSphere Manually execute setupCmdLine.bat in Windows or . ./setupCmdLine.sh in Unix from the WebSphere instance that uninstall is being run against. 2) Start Update Installer 3) Enter the installation location of the WebSphere product you want to remove the fix. 4) Select "Uninstall maintenance package" operation. 5) Enter the file name of the maintenance package to uninstall (PKxxxxx.pak). 6) UnInstall maintenance package. 7) Restart WebSphere Directions to re-apply fix: 1) Shutdown WebSphere. 2) Follow the Fix instructions to apply the fix. 3) Restart WebSphere.
