Error description
When Trust Association Interceptor(TAI) is enabled and invokeForUnprotectedURI="true" is configured, if none of TAIs intercepts an incoming request and a target resource is not protected, a login process might be carried out. As a result, an end user might be requested to login. The expected behavior is that the request should be processed without login.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server Liberty who are enabling TAI and * * invokeForUnprotectedURI is set as true. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a TAI is enabled with the property * * invokeForUnprotectedURI=true, a login * * panel will pop up even when accessing * * an unprotected resource. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Due to a code defect, there is not a code path to skip the application defined authentication and authorization for unprotected resources if TAI did not intercept a request.
Problem conclusion
The code was modified not to perform login process if target resource is not protected and TAI did not process a request. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 19.0.0.8 Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
