APAR status Closed as documentation error. Error description The section 5.7.6.2 of the WebSphere version 4.0 InfoCenter at this address . http://www-3.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/doc/v40/ae/info center/index.html . discusses OWN credentials. The description of OWN credentials implies that they are process based. This is incorrect; they are thread based. . Please change this description from this: . The own credential is also known as the default credential of the process. This credential identifies the principal associated with the process. In the server, this is the server principal; in the client, it is the client principal. Note that a server's own credential can become its invocation credential when delegation is disabled. . to this: . The OWN credential is one that a user may set anytime for their "own" purposes. The OWN credential may be a holding place for the user's credential which can be used to set the invocation credential whenever needed. This credential is thread-based.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of WebSphere Application Server * * Version 4.0 InfoCenter. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WebSphere Application Server Version * * 4.0 InfoCenter article: 5.7.6.2: * * Extracting credentials from a thread * * incorrectly states: * * "The own credential is also known as * * the default credential of the * * process.
