Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• The Bulk User Attribute Assignment in the Process Admin Console
  shows an exception instead of retrieving user data from an LDAP
  system.
  
  PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
  The customer uses the federated repository of Websphere
  Application Server in order to retrieve data from one or more
  LDAP systems.  VMM of Websphere Application Server defines
  additional characteristics for LDAP attributes that are mapped.
  The additional characteristics can cause problems if the
  attribute mapping from LDAP to BPM was changed. For example,
  JR48484 enables changes of an attribute mapping.
  

Problem conclusion

• Additional methods were created to handle attributes with
  characteristic, that were internally defined by VMM.
