IZ89687: The available web UI perspectives might not immediately reflect the access control configuration in a cluster environment

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After making a change to the access control configuration on one
  cluster member, the change is not picked up on any other cluster
  members at the point a user logs in to the UI. This means, for
  example, that if a user is added to a role, they will not
  immediately have access to the UI perspective for that role
  until another user performs an operation on that cluster member
  to trigger synchronization of the access control configuration.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• When changes have recently been made to the access control role
  mapping configuration for WSRR running in a cluster environment,
  the perspectives available to a user in the web UI might not be
  updated if they were affected by the changes.
  
  For example: A user belongs to the WSRRUser role and only has
  access to the 'General User' perspective. The user is then
  mapped to the 'Development' role, but when they next login to
  the web UI, they are still only shown the 'General User'
  perspective and are not given the option to select the
  'Development' perspective.
  

Problem conclusion

• When the user login occurs, the access control configuration is
  not refreshed from what is stored in the database. Therefore, if
  the role mapping change was made on cluster member 1, a login to
  cluster member 2 will not use the new role mapping.
  
  A code change has now been made so that a check is made to see
  if the access control configuration needs to be refreshed from
  the database when the user login occurs. The configuration is
  refreshed if necessary.
  
  This fix is targeted for inclusion in fix pack 4 for WSRR v7.0.
