* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Authorization fails for externally created Ltpa Token due to
an extra space between Relative Disinguished Name and the Base
Distinguished Name required by WebSphere security. This is a
result of WebSphere using exact name matching.
Problem conclusion
The name used for authorizations is now created internally by
WebSphere so the format of the name is consistent with the
name stored in the authorization table including the space
between the Relative Distinguished Name and Base
Distinguished Name.
Temporary fix
PQ59667-3.5.4-3.5.5-3.5.6-test.jar
Comments
Supplied fix to create access ID from internal registry calls
instead of the ID from the externally created LTPA token.
