PM87846: STANDALONE LDAP FAILOVER SETTINGS NOT USED FOR ADMIN AUTHORIZATION MODIFICATIONS

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

When WebSphere Application Server is configured to use a
Standalone LDAP server with failover and the primary LDAP
server is down, creating new administrative roles to user or
group mappings will fail due to the server's attempting to
connect to the primary LDAP rather than using the failover
configuration.

Local fix

switch to a federated repository or bring the primary LDAP
server back online

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server                                      *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Looking up users or groups for          *
*                      administrative roles fails after        *
*                      timing out when the primary LDAP        *
*                      server is unavailable.                  *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When an LDAP registry has failover LDAP servers defined and
the primary LDAP server is unavailble, looking up users or
groups for administrative roles fails after timing out,
because only the primary server is searched.

Problem conclusion

The code has been changed to search the failover LDAP servers
if the primary server is not available.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 7.0.0.31, 8.0.0.8 and 8.5.5.2.  Please refer to the
