PK78114: A CACHE ENTRY IN AUTHENTICATION CACHE WILL NOT BE REMOVED UPON FORM LOGOUT.

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

A cache entry in AuthCache won't be removed when Form logout
is invoked from JSP. This problem occurs in the following two
scenarios;

1) Logout by invoking GET request to ibm_security_logout by
using a link.
2) Logout by invoking POST request to ibm_security_logout by
using form submission.

However a cache entry is removed when RequestDispatcher is
used to invoke ibm_security_logout as follows:

RequestDispatcher rd =
request.getRequestDispatcher("ibm_security_logout?logoutExitPage
=index.jsp");
rd.forward(request,response);

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of WebSphere Application Server   *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: AuthCache entries will not be deleted   *
*                      even if Form Logout servlet is          *
*                      invoked.                                *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
A cache data removal only works if SecurityContext is attached
to the thread since the current code uses getRemoteUser()
method to get a current id and this method only works if
SecurityContext exists in a working thread.

Problem conclusion

With this fix, AuthCache entries are removed by using
LTPAToken or LTPAToken2 cookie.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fixpack 6.1.0.25 and 7.0.0.3.  Please refer to the Recommended
