![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description Customer was asking the method getSSOCookieValue which was (in WebSphere Application Server 4.0.3 and prior releases) located in class SSOAuthenticator, has "vanished" from WebSphere Application Server 4.0.4. I checked the class shipped with the Application Server 4.0.4 and there is no getSSOCookieValue method. Found external documentation for this API, and customers are using it. Please add it back in.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All WebSphere Application Server users * * who have a servlet which invokes * * SSOAuthenticator.getSSOCookieValue() * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: SSOAuthenticator.getSSOCookieValue() * * was removed. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** SSOAuthenticator.getSSOCookieValue() was removed. This was legacy 3.0.2 code which should not have been in use. This method was never really intended for customer use. However, it is documented externally and was still functional until it was removed. It was removed due to performance issues that initialization related to it causes.Problem conclusion SSOAuthenticator.getSSOCookieValue() was re-added and initialization specific to this method was moved to a code path that only impacts users of this method.Temporary fix Testfix is available.Comments
