APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • PureApplication System.
    -
    Passwords that end with an underscore that are entered in the
    Pattern Builder cause the deployment of that pattern to fail.
    The analysis of the failure on the virtual machine found
    that the trailing underscore is being deleted from the password
    when it is decoded.
    

Local fix

  • Do not use passwords that end with the underscore character "_".
    

Problem summary

  • The password encoding method treated the underscore
    character correctly, but the decoding method was
    removing it.
    

Problem conclusion

  • A code fix is being provided in PureApplication System and
    BlueMix Local System version 2.2.3.0.
    

Temporary fix
