* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: VMM fetches properties which were       *
*                      marked as not supported while getting   *
*                      group members and while searching for   *
*                      LDAP entries                            *

****************************************************************
Virtual Member Manager (VMM) allows you to mark some
properties as not supported. VMM then should not fetch these
properties from the underlying repository.
However, while calling the SEARCH API on an entry, properties
which were marked as not supported were also fetched from the
repository. This also happened on calling VMM API to read
users that were members of a specific group.
The reason for this behavior was that VMM did not check if
proerties being fetched from repository were supported by the
underlying repository or not.

Problem conclusion

The fix involved checking whether the property is supported or
not while calling the above mentioned VMM APIs.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 6.1.0.45, 7.0.0.23, and 8.0.0.4.  Please refer to the
