PROBLEM SUMMARY
USERS AFFECTED:
All users of IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.1 who use federated repositories (Virtual Member Manager - VMM).
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
An exception is thrown when getting all available attributes of a user with get() API.
RECOMMENDATION:
None
When all available attributes of a user are queried with get() API and there is at least one attribute definition in VMM that is different than the definition in LDAP (for example, the attribute type such as String in LDAP does not match the attribute type such as identifierType in Virtual Member Manager), then the whole query fails with ClassCastException:
