PQ71085: PERFADMINROLE IN PERFSERVLETAPP CANNOT BE ASSIGED TO "EVERYONE"

APAR status
Closed as documentation error.

Error description
Need to add information to the following page in the
WebSphere version 4.0 InfoCenter(Section 9.3):
.

http://www-3.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/doc/v40/ae/info
center/was/0903.html
.
The best place to add this is after the following paragraph that
already exists on the page:
.
"The performance servlet is deployed exactly as any other
servlet. To use it, deploy the servlet on a single application
server instance within the domain. After the servlet is
deployed, it can be invoked to retrieve performance data for the
entire domain. The default URL for invoking performance servlet
is 
http://host_x/wasPerfTool/servlet/perfservlet (replace host_x
with the right hostname)."
.
Add the following lines:
.
When deploying PerfServletApp.ear when security is enalbed, the
security role named perfAdminRole can not be assigned to
"Everyone". Doing so will cause UNAUTHENTICATED errors in the
Administrator's console. A protected EJB is part of the
application, so a credential is necessary for authentication.
