Problem summary

  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server V8.5                                 *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: IBM WebSphere Http plug-in for Apache   *
  *                      based webservers with Intelligent       *
  *                      Management enabled and using the        *

  *                      Application Server requests.            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  At initialization time connectivity to the Intelligent
  Management backend service fails due to incorrect credentials.
  This will delay startup completion for the web server and
  requests will not properly route.  Error messages will be seen
  in the web server log and also in the targetted Connectors
  (Domain Manager and nodeagents).
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been fixed to properly create the safkeyring
  syntax under the Connector element.  This allows successful
  connection to the Intelligent Management backend service.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.1.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
