****************************************************************
On trying to fetch information about a group configured in a
Local OS registry, Virtual Member Manager (VMM) returned the
information about a user if the name of the user is same as
that of group. This happens because VMM first checked if a
user exist by this name and then it looked for groups. Since
we have both user and group defined with the same name, the
code retuned user information.

Problem conclusion

To fix this issue, the code was modified to first identify the
entity type of the entry and then fetch the information for
appropriate entry.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 6.1.0.41, 7.0.0.21, and 8.0.0.2.  Please refer to the
