Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server virtual member manager (VMM)         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: VMM does not use entity type search     *
  *                      filter in get group membership call.    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When using Active directory LDAP, memberOf is a membership
  attribute and if an entity type filter for a group is defined,
  VMM ignores it in the get Group membership call.
  

Problem conclusion

• This APAR will fix the wrong behavior and will use the entity
  type search filter in the get group membership call.
  
  To enable this fix VMM need following custom property to be
  configured in VMM configuration :
  
  Use the following CLIs to configure the custom property :
  
  $AdminTask setIdMgrCustomProperty { -id  <LDAP_repo_ID> -name
  applyEntityTypeSearchFilterForGroupMembership -value
  true }
  
  $AdminConfig save
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 7.0.0.41 , 8.0.0.12 and 8.5.5.8. Please refer to the
