Local fix

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Users using MQ appliance with LDAP authentication
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform

    separate logic and are not affected by this issue.

    invalid pointer access.
