APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Information Server 8.7.  When multiple users have the same uid
  in /etc/passwd, only one user displays in the user list in the
  Web Console. This is legal at the unix level.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Because the uid was being used as a unique index for the user,
  then only the last user with the same uid was left when the
  table of all users was built. Thus only the last user using a
  common shared UID in the configured passwd file would show in
  the list of Users displayed in the IS Web Console.
  

Problem conclusion

• Changed to use a different unique value as the index so that all
  users are now included in the tabel and properly displayed. This
  issue was actually introduced with the fix for JR44572.
  

Temporary fix
