Local fix
Problem summary
The WPSconfig target "configure-wcm" may fail in the subtask "action-init-wcm-default-library" during WCM configuration. Long User IDs do not authenticate correctly due to Base64Encoding insertion of CRLF, which causes the HTTP authentication to fail.
Problem conclusion
Apply this ifix before attempting to run the task "configure-wcm". A fix is available from Fix Central: http://www.ibm.com/eserver/support/fixes/fixcentral/swg/quickord er?apar=PK44550&productid=WebSphere%20Portal&brandid=5 You might need to type or paste the complete address into your Web browser.
