IC87274: (CD) USER ABLE TO CREATE NETMAP USING THE SAME NAME WHEN USING MIX CASE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Env: Linux
  Product: Secure Proxy v.3.2.00, Patch 4, Build 106
  
  We have identified a problem where we ended up with two node
  entries in  the same netmap where the nodes are the same except
  for case, ie.ppx008/PPX008.  What we found was that this second
  entry was created because the remote was a windows node and it
  was entered to match the server node name case.  The
  connections were using the security settings on the lower case
  entry for all connections.
  
  We would like to determine if the C:D and SSP systems truely
  normalizes all node names so that case doesn't matter when
  making connections and checking netmap entries.
  
  Based on the results of that answer, we would then expect that
  a bug/enhancement be entered to prohibit duplicate entries from
  being allowed in SSP.  On the same note, the search function
  would need to be updated to return any case that matches the
  letters of a search, today it is case sensitive as well.
  

Local fix

• STRRTC - 347314
  RJ/RJ
  Circumvention: None
  

Problem summary

• Using the SSP configuration GUI for the CD netmap, the
  administrator is able to add a duplicate node using the same
  name if they use mixed case.
  

Problem conclusion

• Now use a case-insensitive search for duplicate node names
  within the CD netmap before saving a new nodename.
  

Temporary fix
