Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Secure           *
    *                  Proxy Server                                *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Secure Proxy could not access some      *
    *                      configuration files due to incorrect    *
    *                      file permission and therefore fails to  *
    *                      initialize.                             *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    In WebSphere Application Server Version 8, secure proxy profile
    permission is changed to 755. However since secure proxy is
    running as nobody uid, it could not access the files owned by
    root and triggers an initialization failure.
    

Problem conclusion

  • With the fix, the proxy profile ownership is changed to nobody
    and secure proxy can now access and modify configuration files
    under its profile.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.0.0.1.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
