IV35738: SHAREPOINT MEMBERSHIP PROVIDER ACTIVATED FOR ALL ZONES OF WEBAPP

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• When in a zone on which the membership provider is not
  configured (for example the default zone configured with NTLM)
  and doing a sign in as different user then we get an application
  error.
  
  Unexpected System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not
  set to an instance of an object.    at
  IBM.Tivoli.Web.Security.TAMAuthenticationSettings.Get(SPWebAppli
  cation parent)     at
  IBM.Tivoli.Web.Security.TAMClaimsAuthenticationModule.OnSignOut(
  Object sender, EventArgs e)     at
  Microsoft.IdentityModel.Web.SessionAuthenticationModule.OnSigned
  Out (EventArgs e)     at
  
  When the Membership Provider is installed and activate its
  feature on a Web Application, an HTTP module
  (TAMClaimsAuthentication) is added to the web.config file of all
  zones of that Web Application, so not only the zone on which the
  Membership Provider is configured.
  
  This means that when you do a logout on any zone of the web
  site, the IBM module?s OnSignOut event is called which throws
  the error.
