Error description

  • People Finder displays users with self-referential manager
    attributes multiple times in the organizational view hierarchy.
    
    For example, if the LDAP contains:
    
    for DN uid=test1,cn=users,dc=ibm2,dc=com
    manager=uid=test1,cn=users,dc=ibm2,dc=com
    
    for DN  uid=test2,cn=users,dc=ibm2,dc=com
    manager=uid=test1,cn=users,dc=ibm2,dc=com
    
    The organizational view for test1 displays like:
    
     | test1
        | test1
        | test2
    
    The organizational view for test2 displays like:
    
    | test1
    | test1
    ...
    | test1
    
    | test2

    com.ibm.wps.peoplefinder.util.PFPUMADelegatePFPUMADelegate
    .getMe
    mbersRecursively RETURN  &#65452;             id:
    
    uid=test1,cn=users,dc=ibm2,dc=com
    
    ...
    
    ,              id: uid=test1,cn=users,dc=ibm2,dc=com
    
    ...
    
    ,              id: uid=test1,cn=users,dc=ibm2,dc=com
    
    ...
