|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
APAR status Closed as Permanent restriction. Error description When the customer tries to switch to a Security Server ID that contains forward slashes in it, the customer receives the error SECJ0055A and 'invalid user registry exception.' . The problem only occurs with user names that contain forward slashes.Local fix If forward slashes in the names are required, then there is no workaround. Names without forward slashes work however, so if forward slashes are not required, then the workaround is to use names that don't contain forward slashes.Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server security users * * using user IDs with imbedded "/" characters * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Using a security name with forward * * slash may result in authentication * * failure. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** A login ID start with or without a realm. If a login ID starts with a realm, a forward slash is used as a delimiter between the realm and the user's name. If a user's name contains one or more forward slashes, all characters before the first forward slash are assumed to be the realm.Problem conclusion For backwards compatibility, WebSphere needs to support the forward slash as a delimeter. This restricts the use of a forward slash within a user's name.Temporary fix Comments
