WebSphere Service Registry and Repository V8.0.0 Fix Pack 3

APAR status

  insufficient or empty credentials and is not in the required
  role of Administrator or User.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of WebSphere Service Registry and Repository V7.5
  and V8.0
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  The problem occurs when the user who has been configured for a
  particular promotion environment has the same user name and
  realm as the user who has been selected to run in the RunAs role
  for the ServiceRegistry application on the system performing the
  promotion. Typically the Governance Master.
  
  When a promotion runs and completes, a logout call is made which
  removes cached credentials for the user who logged into the
  remote system to perform the promotion. If the user who is
  logged out happens to match the RunAs user then any process
  which is currently running in the RunAs role will effectively be
  logged out too. This can lead to processes such as text search
  indexing failing because the user under which they are running
  has been logged out. The problem only applies to processes
  that were already running as the RunAs user when the logout call
  was made. New processes will simply log in again and work
  correctly.
  
  Typically this problem causes occasional error messages in the
  SystemOut log.
  

Problem conclusion

• The logout call is unnecessary and was removed so that
  promotions will not cause the RunAs user to be logged out.
  
  This fix is targeted for inclusion in WSRR v7.5.0.5 and v8.0.0.3
