Error description

Mapping of User in the "User RunAs Roles" affect the mapping of
use in "security role to user/group mapping"

"Mapping a user in the "User RunAs Roles" page in the Integrated
Solutions Console will affect the mapping of that user in the
"Security role to user/group mapping" page. The reverse also
occurs, where a mapping in the "Security role to user/group
mapping" page affects the "User RunAs Roles" page."

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server using Security Roles in an           *
*                  application.                                *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Mapping a Security Role in an           *
*                      application using                       *
*                      ibm-application-bnd.xmi data affects    *
*                      the application Run As Roles.           *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The mapping of Security Roles in an application may be
affected by mapping of the same user in "User RunAs Roles."
The issue occurs when an application has an application.xml
and an ibm-application-bnd.xmi bindings file.
Mapping a user in "Security role to user/group mapping" in an
application works properly. Subsequently mapping that same
user in "User RunAs Roles" deletes the previously defined
mapping.

Problem conclusion

No workaround for this issue is available. Security Role
mapping code has been fixed to properly map both "Security
role to user/group mapping" and "User RunAs Roles."

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 6.1.0.41, 7.0.0.21, and 8.0.0.2.  Please refer to the
