When running on Java 8, Federated Repositories will fail to update user password in Active Directory
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IBM WebSphere Application Server users of * * federated repositories * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When running on Java 8, Federated * * Repositories will fail to update user * * password in Active Directory * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** In the Java 8 release, the JRE was updated to use NIO converters instead of IO converters, which were removed. The IO converters handled the endian-ness based on the platform. When moving to NIO, the Java specification was corrected to give consistent behavior (big endian) for all platforms when using the "UNICODE" charset. The specification for encoding for the "unicodepwd" attribute requires it to be little-endian. Therefore, it can be expected, that on all little-endian platforms attempting to change a password will result in a OperationNotSupported / WILL_NOT_PEFORM exception being returned from Active Directory Server.

Problem conclusion
Updated the encoding for the "unicodepwd" attribute value to always use the "UTF-16LE" charset to ensure it is always little-endian. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 8.0.0.14, 8.5.5.13 and 9.0.0.5.
