IJ41103: IF THE ACCESS RIGHTS OF A SOAP USER ARE REVOKED, THE HUB MUST BE RESTARTED BEFORE THE CHANGES TAKE

IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 Service Pack 13 (6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-SP0013)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The Access Rights granted to each user are specified in an
  XML file that is read by the Hub's SOAP server at start-up.
     Changes to that file have no effect until the SOAP server is
  reinitialised, which only occurs when the Hub is restarted.
  

Local fix

• The Hub's SOAP server has been modified to monitor the
  modification time of the XML file. When the file is modified,
  the code re-reads it and dynamically rebuilds its in-core Access
  List so that changes to the file take effect immediately without
  requiring a Hub restart.
  

Problem summary

• If the access rights of a SOAP user are revoked, the Hub must be
   restarted before the changes take effect.
