APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

WebSphere Process Server (WPS) is installed on z/OS, and is
running in the WebSphere Application Server.  The Business
Process defined in WPS, includes multi-step processes.  In the
flow of the Business Process, there is a main process, which
calls a sub-process.  This sub-process  shows up as a 'task' on
the Business Process Choreographer (BPC)  Explorer panel
under the "My To-do's" view.  Under certain circumstances, the
'Originator' field of this task should reflect the user identity
of the 'Main Task' which created this 'sub-task'.
In this error scenario the 'Originator' field of the sub-task is
displaying 'UNAUTHENTICATED'.

****************************************************************
A process in the Business Process Choreographer Explorer has
the originator erroneously marked as unauthenticated.
WebSphere Application Server was incorrectly placing the
wrong security context on the thread at the time of login.

Problem conclusion

To make sure the correct context is on the thread, WebSphere
Application Server will correctly push the context on the
receive of the request, and then correctly pop the context on
the send of the request.

APAR PM24368 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.15 of WebSphere Application Server V7.0.
