Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server V8.0                                 *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When changing the realm name of a       *
  *                      security domain, the realm defaults     *
  *                      back to the default value at the        *
  *                      admin domain level                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  User creates a new domain and clicks "Apply". Sets the scope
  of the domain to the cluster. Expands the User Realm, select
  Federated Repostories and clicks "Apply". User then proceeds
  to configure Federated Repositories without saving the domain
  changes. The user changes the Realm name to non-default value
  and clicks apply then save. When the page is reloaded the
  Realm name will revert back to default value
  "defaultWIMFileBasedRealm".
  

Problem conclusion

• The defect occurred because the code was not picking up the
  configuration file for the newly created domain on page
  reload. The code was changed to correctly identify the domain
  being used and load the correct configuration on page reload.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.0.0.1.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
