APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The maxSize and minSize properties of the authCache element are specified as type Integer, but do not specify any range. The correct range should be: 0 < initialSize <= maxSize <= MAX INT (2^31-1 if they have that much memory.) If initialSize > maxSize, then show a warning message and internally set equal to maxSize to be forgiving and resilient in the development environment. Impact: The result of specifying invalid values for the above properties are: -ffdc's -error messages in the log -the authentication cache effectively being disabled

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server Liberty Profile * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Specifying an initial size for * * an authentication cache element * * outside of the allowable range causes * * errors. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The modified() method in the AuthCacheServiceImpl class does not check the initial size specified for the authentication cache element against the maximum size specified. Initial sizes might be specified that are larger than the maximum, resulting in FFDCs and error messages in the log.
Problem conclusion
A minimum value was set in the authentication cache metatype for both the initialSize and maxSize attributes. The upper bound is now enforced in the AuthCacheServiceImpl by setting the initial size back to the maximum size when the initial size is specified to be larger than the maximum. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.1.
