Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server Liberty- Virtual Member Manager * * (VMM) * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: User is able to log in but when trying * * to retrieve groups for the user, an * * EntryNotFoundException is returned * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** User is able to log in but when trying to get groups for the user an EntryNotFoundException is returned. If the user is federating a Basic Registry, a SAF Registry, a Custom User Registry, or the Quick Start Registry, the UserRegistry.getGroupsForUsers call fails because the code was not handling the expected case where groups were not found in one of the federated UserRegistrys.
