Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V7.0 and V8.0 using Built-In Mapping *
*                  for Kerberos principal to RACF ID.          *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Mapping Kerberos principal to RACF ID   *
*                      fails in some configurations.           *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Mapping Kerberos principal to RACF ID fails when the Kerberos
principal does not exist in the local zOS Key Distribution
Center (KDC) or when the mapping is for SPNEGO Web
Authentication.

Problem conclusion

The code was corrected to properly handle Kerbero principals
from non-z/OS KDCs.  It was also corrected to properly map for
SPNEGO Web Authentication.  The following security custom
property should be set to do the mapping for SPNEGO:

com.ibm.websphere.security.spnego.useBuiltInMappingToSAF=true

Note that if Kerberos Authentication is used in combination
with SPNEGO Web Authentication, configuring Built-in Mapping
for either Kerberos or SPNEGO will result in mapping being done
for both.

APAR PM38019 requires a change to documentation.

NOTE: Periodically, we refresh the documentation on our
Web site, so the changes might have been made before you
read this text. To access the latest on-line
documentation, go to the product library page at:

http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/library

The following change to the WebSphere Application Server
Version 7.0 Information Center will be made available in
January 2012.

The following descriptions of a new security custom
properties will be added to the "Security custom
properties" topic:

com.ibm.websphere.security.spnego.useBuiltInMappingToSAF

This property is used to ensure that a mapping from a
Kerberos principal to a RACF ID is performed for
SPNEGO web authentication.

If you do not add this property to your security settings,
and set it to true, a mapping from a Kerberos principal
to a RACF ID is not performed for SPNEGO web
authentication.

Avoid trouble: If Kerberos authentication is used in
combination with SPNEGO Web authentication, configuring
a built-in mapping for either Kerberos or SPNEGO results
in a mapping being done for both.

Default: false

APAR PM38019 is currently targeted for inclusion in
Service Level 7.0.0.21 and 8.0.0.2 of WebSphere
Application Server.
