Error description
Once you have enabled Access Logging (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/wchelp/v7r0m0/topic/com.ibm.c ommerce.admin.doc/tasks/tseacclog.htm), when an authentication failure or authorization failure event occurs, information is logged to the access log file database tables: ACCLOGMAIN and ACCLOGSUB. Requests that are sent into the system via the web services framework of WebSphere Commerce are not logged to the access log file database tables, ACCLOGMAIN and ACCLOGSUB. In addition, the access logging framework will log the user who had authorization failures and authentication failures. For authentication failures, the current user (who is typically a generic or guest user) is being logged, but it is is missing information about the user who they are trying to authenticate as.
Local fix
Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Commerce 7.0 users who have enabled the Access Logging feature of WebSphere Commerce. PROBLEM ABSTRACT: Requests that are sent into the system via the web services framework of WebSphere Commerce are not logged to the access log file database tables: ACCLOGMAIN and ACCLOGSUB. In addition, when Access Logging records failed logon attempts, it is not clear
Problem conclusion
Access Logging has been enabled for Component Services requests, so that they are correctly logged into the ACCLOGMAIN and ACCLOGSUB tables. In the case of an authentication failure, the ID of the user who was attempting to be authorized will now be logged, rather than the current user who was on the system during the authentication attempt. ------------------------------------------------------------- The latest available maintenance information can be obtained from the Recommended Fixes for WebSphere Commerce technote: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=3046&uid=swg21261296
