Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

When the session security feature is turned on (which is the
default in WebSphere Application Server Version 8.0), and
multiple sessions are using the same user ID, when a user logs
out of one session, another session might receive an error
when a different user who has logged in with the same user ID
logs out: SESN0008E: A user authenticated as anonymous has
attempted to access a session owned by user:  {<user>}

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server running with session-security        *
*                  integration enabled.                        *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When the subject is not found in the    *
*                      security authentication cache during    *
*                      logout, SESN0008E error is logged.      *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When the subject is not found in the authentication cache, the
proper identity of the caller is not established and that
results in the SESN00008E error.
This situation can occur for one of several reasons.  1)
Authentication cache is disabled.  2) Subject has timed out of
authentication cache. 3) Multiple sessions with same user
doing login and logout simultaneously.

Problem conclusion

The code was corrected to properly establish the caller's
identity even if the subject is not found in the security
authentication cache.

APAR PM61371 is currently targeted for inclusion in
WebSphere Application Server Fix Pack 7.0.0.25.
