N/A
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 pack 1.0.0.5.
