PM44303: LTPA COOKIE NOT RETURNED ON CLIENT REQUEST THAT SUCCESSFULLY AUTHENTICATES, BUT FAILS AUTHORIZATION TO A WEB REQUEST.

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

User request is authenticated successfully, but subsequently
fails authorization to the web resource. This is a BASIC AUTH
request. The webcontainer then forwards to an error.jsp. The
error.jsp picks up the authenticated subject and gets an
httpsession. Session security is enabled, resulting in the
authenticated ID being placed on the session.

AppServer fails to return the LTPA token for the authenticated
user.  A subsequent request is run with the UNAUTHENTICATED ID,
since it has no LTPA token. The web resource is unprotected and
tries to access the session previously created for the
authenticated user. This fails.

Example error exception:

SESN0008E: A user authenticated as {0} has attempted to access a
session owned by
{1}.(anonymous,user:defaultWIMFileBasedRealm/uid=was,o=defaultWI
MFileBasedRealm)
