  If Automatic discovery of LDAP servers at runtime is
  configured in Federated repository by enabling the custom
  property domainNameForAutomaticDiscoveryOfLDAPServers..
  Syntax :
  $AdminTask setIdMgrCustomProperty {-id <ldap_repository_name>
  -name
  domainNameForAutomaticDiscoveryOfLDAPServers -value <value>}
  for example:
  $AdminTask setIdMgrCustomProperty {-id LDAP1 -name
  domainNameForAutomaticDiscoveryOfLDAPServers -value
  dc=ibm,dc=com}
  LDAP repository users fail to login.

  discovery of LDAP server at runtime is configured in a
  Federated repository.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
