Abstract: Improves system performance when security is enabled

Description/symptom of problem:	

	When security is enabled, a java.lang.OutOfMemory
 	exception may occur after a period of time because one of
 	the security components is not releasing resources and
 	thus eventually consumes all available memory.  The
 	symptoms of this problem include, steady increasing memory
 	consumption by WebSphere Application servers, followed by
 	the OutOfMemory exception, which will cause the application
 	server process to terminate.

Directions to apply efix:
1) Create "efix" directory to store the efix jar file(s):
   AIX: /usr/WebSphere/AppServer/efix
   Solaris/Linux: /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/efix
   Windows: c:\WebSphere\AppServer\efix
2) Copy PQ51946.jar to the directory
3) Add the directory/jar file to the beginning of the admin server's classpath
  in admin.config:
com.ibm.ejs.sm.adminserver.classpath=C:/WebSphere/AppServer/efix/PQ51946.jar...

4) Stop and restart the Admin Server
