Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V6.1 and V7.0                        *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The getRemoteUser API always returns    *
*                      the fully qualified name for an         *
*                      authenticated user.                     *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
SIP container DIGEST mechanism doesn't comply with WEB
Container's behavior and always returns the fully qualified
LDAP name on the getRemoteUser API.

Problem conclusion

A new LDAP custom property was introduced:
com.ibm.webspehere.sip.security.short.login
Setting it to true will cause the getRemoteUser API to return
the short name instead of the fully qualified name. This will
not change the default behavior which is to return the fully
qulified name. To set the LDAP custom property navigate to:
Global security, choose configure button next to the LDAP
repository selection. In this screen there is an option to add
LDAP custom properties.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 6.1.0.25 and 7.0.0.11.  Please refer to the
