  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When using a TAI that initially sets the security context
    successfully, then when the LTPA token nears expiration, it is
    possible that this error could occur, due to a failed attempt by
    the Application Server to refresh the ssoToken:

    ****************************************************************
    When using a Trust Association Interceptor (TAI) or a custom
    login module that initially constructs a Subject
    successfully, when the LTPA token nears expiration, it is
    possible to get a CORBA.NO_PERMISSION error from a
    downstream server or some error from an application which used
    to consume the custom token.  This is due to a failed attempt
    by the Application Server to refresh the Subject:
    
    There was an APAR PK93018 which intended to resolve this
    issue. However, a CORBA.NO_PERMISSION exception with "within
    cushion window" message was thrown during RMI call even a
    Subject is still valid. This issue was introduced by a code
    defect of PK93018.
    

Problem conclusion

  • With this fix, a WSLoginFailedException is thrown if one of
    credentials is being expired. This exception forces either
    TAI or custom login module to login again. With this, a custom
    token will be placed in a Subject.
    Along with this fix, CORBA.NO_PERMISSION error which was
    introduced by PK93018 is removed.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 6.1.0.39 and 7.0.0.19. Please refer to the
