Abstract
Authentication fails when portal userid belongs to double-byte character set (DBCS) LDAP group.
 
Download Description
PQ61381 resolves the following problem:

Running WebSphere® Portal Server and Domino® LDAP, the user is authenticated by Domino LDAP to login to WebSphere Portal Server. However, if the user has been registered in LDAP to a DBCS group name, the portal server login fails due to invalid userid.

For example, if a client communicates with a server using a session bean by way of RMI, and both client and server are running on a Japanese language machine. On the server, the Interface Definition Language (IDL) creates a credential object containing some double-byte char string. In this example, the RMI call cannot return and throws a "CORBA Marshal exception" in the adminserver_stdout.log:

java.rmi.ServerException: RemoteException occurred in
server thread; nested exception is:
java.rmi.MarshalException: CORBA MARSHAL 0 No; nested exception is:
org.omg.CORBA.MARSHAL minor code: 0 completed: No
java.rmi.MarshalException: CORBA MARSHAL 0 No; nested exception is:

Applying this fix to the WebSphere Application Server object request broker (ORB) will resolve this issue and allow authentication to succeed when logging into WebSphere Portal Server with a userid belonging to a DBCS group.
