PK72907: UNABLE TO REMOVE USERS FROM AUTHOR, OWNER OR SECURITY FIELDS ON WCM OBJECTS WHEN THE LDAP DN INCLUDES BACKSLASH OR COMMA

 

APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • If a user's Distinguished Name contains a slash character ("\")
or a comma, or both, it is impossible to remove the user from
the Author, Owner or Security fields on a WCM object using the
"x" link or button provided in the Authoring UI. An example DN
has the form: cn=Smith\, James. DNs of this type are commonly
used in Microsoft Active Directory. All content Authors working
with WCM 6.1 are affected. The issue was originally seen in
WCM 6.1.0 with Cumulative Fix 5 (CF5) applied.
