APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The issue occurs, if dynamically launched pages are used and
  authentication is configured via a TAI together with the
  setting
  timeout.resume.session = true
  
  Users are reauthenticated directly after a HTTPSession timeout
  and a new session is created. In the first request after the
  session timeout, the container nodes in the navigation for the
  dynamically launched pages are not visible anymore and will
  reappear with the second request.
