• Closed as program error.

Error description

• People Finder displays users with self-referential manager
  attributes multiple times in the organizational view hierarchy.
  
  For example, if the LDAP contains:
  
  for DN uid=test1,cn=users,dc=ibm2,dc=com
  manager=uid=test1,cn=users,dc=ibm2,dc=com
  
  for DN  uid=test2,cn=users,dc=ibm2,dc=com
  manager=uid=test1,cn=users,dc=ibm2,dc=com
  
  The organizational view for test1 displays like:
  
   | test1
      | test1
      | test2
  
  The organizational view for test2 displays like:
  
  | test1
  | test1
  ...
  | test1
  
  | test2
  
  
  PUMA tracing shows the results of the underlying
  
  getMembersRecursively call:
  
  
  
  PFPUMADelegat > com.ibm.wps.peoplefinder.util.PFPUMADelegate
  
  
  
  com.ibm.wps.peoplefinder.util.PFPUMADelegatePFPUMADelegate.getMe
  
  mbersRecursively ENTRY              id:
  ...
  
  PFPUMADelegat < com.ibm.wps.peoplefinder.util.PFPUMADelegate
  
  com.ibm.wps.peoplefinder.util.PFPUMADelegatePFPUMADelegate
  .getMe
  mbersRecursively RETURN  &#65452;             id:
  
  uid=test1,cn=users,dc=ibm2,dc=com
  
  ...
  
  ,              id: uid=test1,cn=users,dc=ibm2,dc=com
  
  ...
  
  ,              id: uid=test1,cn=users,dc=ibm2,dc=com
  
  ...
