Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server who use JASPI (Java Authentication * * Service Provider Interface for containers) * * authentication provider * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Authenticated user's Subject is not * * set on the thread when unprotected * * URL is accessed * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When a custom JASPI authentication provider is plugged in, authenticated user's Subject was not set on the thread when unprotected URL is accessed, even though "Use available authentication data when an unprotected URI is accessed" setting is enabled. This causes some of APIs of HttpServletRequest,such as getRemoteUser() and getUserPrincipal(),return NULL instead of valid user Subject. In the same scenario above, jaspicSession Cookie was not set in the http response. Additionally, regardless of the requested URL, uniqueUserId from the plugin provider was not honored. This could cause authorization error.
Problem conclusion
The bug was fixed. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 9.0.5.0. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
