Troubleshooting


Problem

When Application Server Security is enabled, WebSphere Application Server might write the error "SECJ0053E: Authorization failed for /UNAUTHENTICATED" to SystemErr.log even though no user reports a problem logging in yo Maximo

Symptom

While users do not report problems when the log in to Maximo when Application Server Security is enabled. But WebSphere Application Server might continually write this error in /SystemErr.log:
javax.ejb.AccessLocalException:  ; nested exception is: 
 com.ibm.websphere.csi.CSIAccessException: SECJ0053E: Authorization failed for /UNAUTHENTICATED
 while invoking (Bean)MAXIMO#mboejb.jar#accesstokenprovider
