Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All administrators of IBM WebSphere         *
*                  Application Server V7.0 configuring JAX-WS  *
*                  WS-Security bindings.                       *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An administrator may be allowed to      *
*                      delete a policy set or binding that     *
*                      is referenced in a trust client         *
*                      attachment.                             *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:  Install a fixpack containing this APAR.     *
****************************************************************
If a policy set or binding that is referenced by a client
trust attachment is deleted, the policy set or binding is
successfully deleted with no error message issued.  This will
leave the client trust attachment unusable.

Also, the listAssetsAttachedToPolicySet wsadmin command does
not include trust client attachments in the command output.

Problem conclusion

When an administrator attempts to delete a policy set or
binding, a check is performed to verify that the policy set or
binding is not attached to any resources. The code is not
checking the trust client attachments that are defined in
WSSecurity binding files.

The code is updated to add a check to determine if any
existing bindings contain trust client attachment references
to the policy set or binding which is to be deleted. If trust
client binding references are found, an error message is
issued.

The update also modifies the listAssetsAttachedToPolicySet
command to return the trust client binding references to a
policy set.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 7.0.0.9.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
