Error description

Error snippet:
00000000 exception     1
com.ibm.ws.wim.RealmManager getURMapInputPropertyInRealm
com.ibm.websphere.wim.exception.InvalidArgumentException:
CWWIM0500E The 'EXAMPLE' realm name specified is not valid.
 at
com.ibm.ws.wim.RealmManager.getURMapInputPropertyInRealm(RealmMa
nager.java:396)

This seems to be mainly due to the custom property passed to the
registry in the domain security. VMM code expects this property
only from inter component  call and sets the local domain to
this one. This seems to have resulted in mismatch of domain ids
and hence above failure seen.

    <properties xmi:id="Property_1360167498362"
name="security.domain.name" value="SecDomain1"/>

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Returning incorrect realm name in       *
*                      multisecurity domain even if context    *
*                      is in VMM security domain               *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
In multithreaded environment if a Security domain is created
with Federated repository enabled there is an issue with the
thread. It passes the wrong context to the domain. That means
that even if the context is in VMM's security domain it
points to the Admin domain's context and returns Admin domain's
realm name where expected realm name is security domain's
realm.

Problem conclusion

Cleaned up the VMM context in the code to return the proper
context on thread and proper value of realm.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 8.0.0.8 and 8.5.5.2.  Please refer to the Recommended
