Performance issues when using federated repositories with RACF
registry

When starting Websphere Application Server using federated
repositories, the server takes a long time to start up, if it's
configured to use the RACF registry.  It especially takes long
if there are lots of users in the RACF registry.

When starting Websphere Application Server using federated
repositories, the server takes a long time to startup, if it's
configured to use the RACF registry.  It especially takes long
if there are lots of users in the RACF registry.

Problem conclusion

The problem has been fixed.  Federated repositories was using
an inefficient API to get user information.  It now uses
the correct API to authenticate and retrieve user information.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 6.1.0.29 and 7.0.0.9.  Please refer to the Recommended
