JR43923: USERS WITH 'SAMACCOUNTNAME' ATTRIBUTE SET IN UPPER CASE CANNOT VIEW SHARED BUSINESS SPACES

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Users with the 'sAMAccountName' attribute value (in the LDAP
  server) in upper case cannot view a shared space.  This was
  reported on a deployment using a Microsoft Active Directory LDAP
  server, where the 'uid' attribute was not defined for the users.
  
  The access control list code in Business Space requires
  modification to account for this scenario.
