Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If a user DN contains spaces and it     *
*                      is a member of a group then             *
*                      getMembersByMember returns members DN   *
*                      with spaces.                            *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
If a user/group contains spaces in DN for example,
"uid=testuser, o=ibm" and it is a member of a group, trying
to get members of a group returns the members DN with spaces,
not normalized one.

Problem conclusion

To fix this, you need to set a new custom property
"returnDNWithOutSpaceInGetMembers" with value "true". This
will return members DN without space when getMembersByMember
call for a group is done. In order to set this property, use
the following command:

$AdminTask setIdMgrCustomProperty {-id <LDAP_repos_ID> -name
returnDNWithOutSpaceInGetMembers -value true}

Here "LDAP_repos_ID" is the repository id of the LDAP
configured in VMM. Also save the configuration after running
the previous command using:

$AdminConfig save


The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 6.1.0.45, 7.0.0.25, 8.0.0.5 and 8.5.0.1.  Please
