PK97553: If customized SAF profile mapper class is used, SAF role to profile mapper is initilized using default role mapper.

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

If a custom class is used in the "SAF profile mapper" field,
custom SAF role to profile mapper is initialized using the
default mapper com.ibm.ws.security.zOS.authz.SAFRoleMapperImpl
and the custom class is ignored.

If an invalid class name is entered or the class that is
entered cannot be found in the "SAF profile mapper" field,
custom SAF role to profile mapper is still initialized using the
default mapper.
If class name entered is not found, an error should be printed.
The following error is documented in the InfoCenter, but not
issued in this case:

SECJ6225E: Unable to load the custom SAF role to profile mapper
"{0}" due to the following exception: {1}
  Explanation: WebSphere was unable to load and and
    instantiate the configured class. This is generally due
    to an incorrect class name.
  Action: Verify that the specified class name is correct and
    that it can be loaded by the WebSphere class loader.

For WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, the default role
mapper com.ibm.ws.security.zOS.authz.SAFRoleMapperImpl is used
regardless of the setting of the security custom property
com.ibm.websphere.security.SAF.RoleMapper or regardless of the
class name specified for the "SAF profile mapper" in the admin
console in Security > Secure administration, applications, and
infrastructure > External authorization provider > System
Authorization Facility (SAF) > SAF authorization options panel.

Problem conclusion

The code was modified to honor the class name specified either
in the security custom property
com.ibm.websphere.security.SAF.RoleMapper or through the
administration console panel.
