PK75786: J2C AUTHENTICATION ALIAS DROP-DOWN LISTS ARE POPULATED INCORRECTLY WHEN USING ALIASES BELONGING TO A SECURITY DOMAIN

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

To recreate the problem:
1. Create two clusters, cluster1 and cluster2
2. Create a security domain, domain1 containing cluster1
3. Create a J2C alias, domain1_alias for domain1
4. Create a security domain, domain2 containing cluster2
5. Create a J2C alias, domain2_alias for domain2
6. Create a connection factory at the cluster1 scope. Click
the Browse... button next to Component-managed authentication
alias and check the box for domain1_alias. Click OK.
7. Create a connection factory at the cluster2 scope.  Click
on the drop-down box for Component-managed authentication
alias and notice that it contains both domain1_alias and
domain2_alias.  This is incorrect, because it should only
contain the aliases from domain1.

*                      authentication aliases when using       *
*                      aliases from a security domain          *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Security domain scope Java 2 Connector (J2C) authentication
aliases must be defined in order to hit this problem.  The
wrong alias data can be displayed when you view a data source
or connection factory with one list of aliases and then view a
second data source or connection factory which has a different
list of aliases (due to the use of security domains). The
first list you view will display correctly.  However, the
second list may be incorrect because the form data from the
first viewing was not completely cleared.

Problem conclusion

The issue has been fixed by clearing the form data before
displaying the new data.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fixpack 7.0.03.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
