PQ52708: SECURITY TRUSTASSOCIATION FUNCTIONALITY DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY IN 4.0 AE AND THE DOCUMENTATION IS CONFUSING. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
APAR status Closed as program error. Error description Even though these bugs are not serious, I encourage you to address them in PTF 1 or many more customers will be as confused as I am. Please provide me with an APAR number and some ta=(TrustAssociationInterceptor)myClass.newInstance(); That line does a great deal of implicit work and can fail for many reasons. The audit message should be after that line in .act, the trustAssocation audit messages actually reports that the interceptor has been initialized successfully. This entire adventure took me over 10 hours to figure out.Local fix No workaround known at this time.Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All WebSphere Application Server users * * who have enabled security and configured * * trust association. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Trust Association Interceptor is * * ignored without warning if * * configuration is incorrect. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** If a *.config property is not present in trustedservers.properties (e.g. com.ibm.websphere.security.trustassociation.fordwsl.config) the Trust Association interceptor is ignored. Additionally, no audit/error message is reported if there is a configuration issue.Problem conclusion This is working as designed but the documentation was unclear as to how to properly configure Trust Association. There is now an audit message after Trust Association initialization to report this condition.Temporary fix Comments
