Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server                                      *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Node Synchronization fails due to       *
*                      TokenExpiredException                   *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When Node Synchronization request comes as a HTTP request,
WebSphere validates LTPAToken cookie that came with the
request to make sure the request has the right credential. In
addition, WebSphere also validates PropagationTokens
retrieved from DynaCache.  There was program defect that
allowed expired PropagationToken to stay in the DynaCache.
Due to this expired PropagationToken, Node Synchronization
request failed.  This is intermittent issue that may happen
when two different requests are handled by one thread
in short time period.

Problem conclusion

With this fix, cached Subject, of which PropagationToken is
expired, is evicted from DynaCache to avoid
TokenExpiredException.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 6.1.0.41, 7.0.0.21, and 8.0.0.1.  Please refer to the
Recommended Updates page for delivery information:
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980

Temporary fix

Turn off web inbound security attribute propagation option so
that invalid Token is not retrieved and validated.

The issue can be worked around in v6.1 by doing the following:
From Admin console
Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure (on
this panel in the "Authentication section", expand "Web
Security")
> single sign-on (SSO) and uncheck "Web inbound security
attribute propagation"

The issue can be worked around in v7 by doing the following:
From Admin console
Click Security > Global security.
Under Web security, click Single sign-on (SSO).
Uncheck "Web inbound security attribute propagation option"
