ERROR DESCRIPTION:                                              
Virtual Member Manager(VMM)/Websphere Member Manager(WMM) does  
not return requested attributes on getGroupMembers call.        
In one of the cases when request the attribute is  uid.         
Also it is returned by VMM, the assembler code in the bridge    
layer does not include it in the result.

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
Websphere Application Server 6.1 users who
use federated repositories (virtual member
manager).

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
The Websphere Member Manager/
Virtual Member Manager (WIM/VMM)
bridge API does not return requested
properties on getGroupMembers call

RECOMMENDATION:
None

The WIM/WMM bridge API does not return requested properties on
getGroupMembers() call. For example, when the 'uid' property
is requested, the bridge layer does not include it in the
result.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
The problem has been fixed.  Requested properties will be       
included in the result.                                         
                                                                
This fix is targeted for fixpack 6.1.0.17.
