PQ55309: PRINCIPALNAME IN SAS.SERVER.PROPS SAYS IT CANNOT BE EDITED

APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
In the Websphere App Server 4.0.x sas.client.props property
file, the principalName property:
.
com.ibm.CORBA.principalName=
.
is in a section labelled:
################################################################
#
#
#              Properties in this section should not be edited.
#
################################################################
.
However, the principalName may need to be modified when running
a client that authenticates through a Websphere server.
Local fix
This is incorrect; in the sas.client.props file you CAN edit the
principalName as needed.
.
The sas.client.props file comments need to be updated to clarify
which fields can and cannot be edited (if any).
