Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

The getGROUPid request is returning 6 GROUPs instead of 3.
The 3 GROUPs are duplicated.
 -
The request from the LDAP returns    3 GROUPs:
 LdapRegistryI <  search Exit
   GROUPs name = CN=GROUP1,O=domain.COM
   GROUPs name = CN=GROUP2,O=domain.COM
   GROUPs name = CN=GROUP3,O=domain.COM
 -
But the GetGROUPIds return 6 GROUPs
 WSCredentialI <  getGROUPIds Exit
 [GROUP:LdapName:389/ CN=GROUP1,O=domain.COM
  GROUP:LdapName: 389/CN=GROUP2,O=domain.COM
  GROUP:LdapName:389/CN=GROUP3,O=domain.COM
  GROUP:LdapName:389/CN=GROUP1,O=domain.COM
  GROUP:LdapName:389/CN=GROUP2,O=domain.COM
  GROUP:LdapName:389/CN=GROUP3,O=domain.COM

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of WebSphere Application Server   *
*                  with LDAP user registries.                  *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Duplicate group names are listed in     *
*                      groups list when " Perform a nested     *
*                      group search " is enabled.              *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Due to lack of consideration that the same group names are
listed in more than one location while performing nested group
search and a coding issue in the logic to enumerate all of the
group names in an attribute of user object, LDAP User Registry
always returns duplicate group entries when a nested group
search function is enabled.

Problem conclusion

With this fix, prior to appending a group name into a List
object, the code checks whether the entry being added
already exists in the List object.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fixpack 6.1.0.21.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
