Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server security        *
*                 users who use programmatic security with     *
*                 Trust Association and Custom Registry.       *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Wehn using a custom registry with       *
*                      trust association, the API              *
*                      getRemoteUser() returns display name    *
*                      rather than security name.              *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: Apply this eFix, or use the display name     *
*                 as the same as the security name.            *
****************************************************************
When using a Custom Registry implementation, security returns
the user's display name for getRemoteUser() and
getPrincipalName() instead of the user's security name.
Problem conclusion
If getRemoteUser() and getPrincipalName() are required to
return the user's security name, a system property has been
added to enable this.
