Error description
Upon initialization, IBM Business Automation Workflow inspects the user registry configuration to determine if optimized group membership configuration was applied as documented in "Configuring VMM and IBM Business Automation Workflow for optimized group membership synchronization" ( https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS8JB4/com.ibm.wbpm. admin.doc/topics/config_optimized_group_membership.html). However, a rare configuration can cause a NullPointerException, which leads to subsequent failures in the user registry.

Local fix
Add the attributeConfiguration elements back to the ldapRegistry.
Problem summary
The rare configuration removes all attributeConfiguration elements from an ldapRegistry in the wimconfig.xml file.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available or will be available that prevents the attributeConfiguration elements from being removed from an ldapRegistry in the wimconfig.xml file and, therefore, the NullPointerException.
