Error description
When you use the getAllUsers() JavaScript API, the returned list contains the value NULL for invalid user. A user with a given name is invalid if the same user name exists more than once in the WebSphere Application Server user registry. An invalid user cannot log in to IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) and should not be returned in a JavaScript API call response.
Local fix
Use custom code to check the list that the getAllUsers() JavaScript API call returned for NULL values and ignore them during subsequent processing.
Problem summary
If a user name is used more than once to define distinct users in the WebSphere Application Server user registry, IBM BPM considers the corresponding users invalid and consistently ignores them. However, calling the getAllUsers() JavaScript API does not ignore such users because it returns for a NULL value each invalid user.
Problem conclusion
A fix is/will be available for IBM BPM V8.0.1.2 that avoids inserting NULL values into the results list of the getAllUsers() JavaScript API call. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR51681: 1. Select IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from the product selector, the installed version to the fix pack level, and your platform, and then click Continue. 2. Select APAR or SPR, enter JR51681, and click Continue. When you download fix packages, ensure that you also download the readme file for each fix. Review each readme file for additional installation instructions and information about the fix.
