PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
Users of IBM® Websphere® Application Server versions 6.0.2 and 6.1

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When you try to import a profile with multiple servers in it you see the following exception in Systemout.log

SECJ0007E: Error during security initialization. The exception is com.ibm.ws.exception.WsRuntimeException :java™.lang.NullPointerException

RECOMMENDATION:
None

While trying to import a profile with multiple servers there is a mismatch in the server.xml and security.xml which causes the following exceptions in the SystemOut.log upon startup.

000000a distSecurityC E SECJ0007E: Error during security initialization. The exception is com.ibm.ws.exception.
WsRuntimeException:java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.ibm.ws.management.component.JMXConnectors.stateChanged (JMXConnectors.java:1524)
at com.ibm.ws.security.core.distSecurityComponentImpl.fireEvent(distSecurityComponentImpl.java:1651)
..............

The mismatch was due to a incorrect variable used in the algorithm to update the security.xml during import.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The code has been modified to correct the problematic algorithm and thus preventing the problem while importing profile with multiple servers.

This fix is targetted for fixpacks 6.0.2.23 and 6.1.0.13
