PM15258: VMM CONFIG ALLOWS DUPLICATE GROUP MEMBERS IN WIMCONFIG.XML

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

During the configuration of virtual member manager (VMM) you
are allowed to just change the case of group members to make
them appear different. For example with groupOfNames
objectclass the following are considered different (even
though they are not):
Member, MEMBER, member

VMM should throw WIMConfigurationEception:
CWWIM5007E LDAP group member attribute <attr> already exists.

****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: VMM config allows duplicate group       *
*                      members in wimconfig.xml                *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Virtual member manager (VMM) allows you to add duplicate group
membership attributes for the same group object class. The
duplicate group membership attribute can be formed by just
changing the case of the letters used in the membership
attribute.

For example for group objectclass "groupOfNames" the membership
attribute is member, the following are considered different
; even though they are not :
Member, MEMBER, member

VMM should throw
com.ibm.websphere.wim.exception.WIMConfigurationException:
CWWIM5007E   LDAP group member attribute uniquemember already
exists.
at
com.ibm.ws.wim.config.LDAPRepositoryConfigHelper.addIdMgrLDAPGro
upMemberAttr(LDAPRepositoryConfigHelper.java:681)
at
com.ibm.ws.wim.config.commands.LDAPRepositoryConfig.addIdMgrLDAP
GroupMemberAttr(LDAPRepositoryConfig.java:211)
at
com.ibm.ws.wim.config.commands.IdMgrRepositoryConfigCommandsProv
ider.addIdMgrLDAPGroupMemberAttr(IdMgrRepositoryConfigCommandsPr
ovider.java:276)

VMM should compare the new member attribute
case-insensitively, and then only add it to wimconfig.xml.

Problem conclusion

VMM will now compare the new member attribute in a
case-insensitive compare, and then only add it to the
wimconfig.xml if it is unique.
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 6.1.0.35 and 7.0.0.13.  Please refer to the
