Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  Users of the default messaging provider     *
*                  for IBM WebSphere Application Server v7     *
*                  and v8 in a secured Publish/Subscribe       *
*                  environment                                 *

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: "com.ibm.websphere.wim.exception.Entity *
*                      NotFoundException" exception is         *
*                      observed when a message is published    *
*                      to a topic in a secured                 *
*                      publish/subscribe environment.          *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
In a Publish/Subscribe environment with security enabled, the
following exception is observed when a message ib publised to
a topic:
00000050 exception     1
com.rbsg.application.cws.security.was.vmm.CWSAdapter
getEntityByUniqueName
com.ibm.websphere.wim.exception.EntityNotFoundException:
CWWIM4001E  The 'uid=<unique_id>' entity was not found.
The above exception is observed due to an explicit conversion
of the username to lowercase. Since the username has been
converted to lowercase, when validated against the repository
which is case-sensitive , the above exception is observed

Problem conclusion

A custom property "sib.processor.userNameCaseSensitive" has
been introduced, which when set to true would ensure that the
username is not explicitly converted to lowercase but rather
retains the username as is and then validates the username
against the repository.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 7.0.0.25 and 8.0.0.5.  Please refer to the
