Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Virtual member manager (VMM) throws * * InvalidUniqueNameException when the * * login attribute value contains an * * equal sign "=". * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** VMM throws InvalidUniqueNameException when the login attribute value contains a "=". When an equal sign "=" is encountered in the login name for example 'tw=admin', VMM treats this as a distinguished name (DN) and hence the login fails.
Problem conclusion
You need to set a custom property using the following command $AdminTask configureAdminWIMUserRegistry {-customProperties {"com.ibm.ws.wim.registry.allowDNPrincipalNameAsLiteral =true"} } When this property is set, VMM determines whether the login name ends with a baseEntry. If the login name does not end with a baseEntry it is not treated as a DN and the login is successful. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 8.0.0.4 and 8.5.0.1.
