IT13573: REST MANAGEMENT INTERFACE CALLS MIGHT FAIL UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN USING A USER WITH GROUP DEFINED PRIVILEGES

Fix packs for DataPower Gateway version 7.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using the rest management interface with a user with their
  access privileges defined by a group, you may unexpectedly get
  authentication errors for the URI "/mgmt/status/".
  
  This can occur if the access profile for the user group applies
  to all domains (*), instead of a specific domain.
  

Local fix

• Change the access profile to list specific domains you need
  access to, rather than using *.
  
  For example changing:
  */*/*?Access=r+w+a+d+x
  
  to:
  */Default/*?Access=r+w+a+d+x
  

Problem summary
