JR51009: RUNNING USER SYNCHRONIZATION CAN LEAD TO INCONSISTENT USER ENTRIES FOR NON-DEFAULT LOGIN PROPERTIES IN VMM CONFIGURATION

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You can perform administrative tasks for user synchronization
  either by using the administrative scripts that are provided for
  this purpose (usersSync, usersFullSync) or by triggering
  synchronization operations (synchronize, full synchronize) from
  the Process Admin Console by selecting User Management and then
  User Synchronization.
  When the federated repositories are configured as a user
  registry, the administrative user synchronization mechanisms in
  IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) assume that the default
  loginProperties setting uid is used to identify the available
  users in the federated repositories (including associated LDAP
  directories). When you configure a non-default value or a
  sequence of values for the loginProperties settings, the
  mechanisms might clear the user full names in the IBM BPM
  database and add incorrect user entries.

Local fix

Problem summary

• When you configure a non-default value or a sequence of values
  as the loginProperties in federated repositories, the
  administrative user synchronization mechanisms might clear the
  user full names in the IBM BPM database and add incorrect user
  entries.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is/will be available that ensures that administrative
  user synchronization correctly reflects the loginProperties
  settings that were configured for the federated repositories.
  With this fix applied, correct user full name values are used
  to update existing user entries in the IBM BPM database and no
  incorrect user entries are added to the IBM BPM database.
