Problem summary

    * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server users of   *
    *                  SAML Web Single sign-on feature             *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When exporting SAML service provider    *
    *                      metadata, the wsadmin command           *
    *                      AdminTask.exportSAMLSpMetadata may      *

    ****************************************************************
    If the SAML TAI custom property sso_<id>.sp.keyStore defines a
    keystore that has a non-default management scope, the SAML
    wsadmin command exportSAMLSpMetadata may fail with the
    following exception:
    com.ibm.websphere.management.cmdframework.CommandException: The
    keyStores name scopeTest and scopeName (cell):test1Cell is not
    found
    

Problem conclusion

  • Ths problem occurred because the SAML TAI assumed that the
    managed keystore specified by the custom property
    sso_<id>.sp.Keystore uses the default management scope, which
    may not be true. The problem occurs if the custom property
    sso_<id>.sp.keyStore is defined as follows:
    1. <sso_<id>.sp.keyStore="keystore1",  where the management
    scope of keystore1 is not the default cell scope.
    2. <sso_<id>/sp.keyStore="name=keystore1 managementScope=scope1"
    
    The problem was fixed by updating the SAML TAI to use the
    management scope specified by the managementScope value in the
    <sso_<id>.sp.keyStore custom property, instead of using the
    default management scope.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 8.0.0.13, 8.5.5.11 and 9.0.0.1.  Please refer to the
