Error description

  • In the Integrated Solutions Console (Admin Console) for
    WebSphere Application Server, if
    domainNameForAutomaticDiscoveryOfLDAPServers is configured as a
    custom property for an LDAP repository (configured in a
    Federated Repository), it's possible that the member
    information of a group is not returned at all when queries are
    made against the LDAP.
    
    For example, if you try to list the Members of a Group in the
    Users and Groups > Manage Groups > GROUP_NAME, then click the
    Members tab, it will be an empty table.

    ****************************************************************
    Group membership lookup can fail with the custom property,
    domainNameForAutomaticDiscoveryOfLDAPServers, enabled. While
    the group members are returned from the Ldap server, they are
    not returned to the user (for example, listed in the
    administrative console).
    For example, when using the Manage Groups option in the
    administrative console, the Members tool on a selected group
    does not list the members.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The processing of the group members when the custom property,
    domainNameForAutomaticDiscoveryOfLDAPServers, is enabled was
    fixed to return the group members.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.5.5.16 and 9.0.5.0.  Please refer to the
