Abstract: The WSCP fails to validate the user/group names on role-user/group mapping when 
uses the LTPA auathentication. 

Description/symptom of problem: 

1. When using wscp, uses a short user or group name for role-user/group mapping, the install 
will successfully, but it will cause a 403 error (Authorization fails) when accessing the bean.
  
2. When using wscp, uses a full DN user or group name, application install failed.


Directions to apply efix:

1) Create temporary "efix" directory to store the jar file:
             AIX: /tmp/WebSphere/efix
   Solaris/Linux: /tmp/WebSphere/efix
         Windows: c:\temp\WebSphere\efix

2) Copy jar file to the directory

3) Shutdown WebSphere

4) Run the jar file with the following command answering questions/
prompts as they appear: java -jar <jarfile name>

5) Restart WebSphere

6) The temp directory may be removed but the jar file should be saved.
Do not remove any files created and stored in the:

 <WASHOME>/WebSphere/ AppServer/efix/<efix> 

directories. These files are required if an efix is to be removed.



Directions to remove an efix:

NOTE:  EFIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED.  DO NOT
REMOVE AN EFIX UNLESS ALL EFIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN
REMOVED.  YOU MAY REAPPLY ANY REMOVED EFIX.

Example:  If your system has efix1, efix2, and efix3 applied in that
order and efix2 is to be removed, efix3 must be removed first, efix2
removed, and efix3 re-applied.


1) Change directory to the efix location:

 (<WASHOME>/WebSphere/AppServer/efix/<efix#>).

2) Shutdown WebSphere

3) Run the backup jar file with the following command:
   java -jar <backup_efix#>

4) Restart WebSphere



Directions to re-apply an efix:

Follow the instructions for applying an efix.  If the backup files
still exist (from the previous efix application), you will be
prompted to overwrite.  Answer "yes" at the overwrite  prompts.
