APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Auto-started applications can fail to initialize their
    WebSphere Application Server security subject, causing
    WebSphere Application Server administrative operations
    performed through MBeans to fail.
    

Local fix

  • Disable application auto-start and manually start applications
    following server startup.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server                                      *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The system security subject is not put  *
    *                      on the active thread during             *
    *                      application startup.                    *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    For application start with security enabled, the process needs
    to run with the system security subject; however, a path
    existed in which that could be inadvertently avoided.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The proper security code was added to the uncovered
    application start paths.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 7.0.0.29, 8.0.0.6 and the fix pack following
    8.5.0.2. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
