    ****************************************************************
    Trust Association Interceptor only redirects to one
    pre-configured business resource URL for one
    AssertionConsumerService, and this makes it
    impossible to redirect if business application URLs are
    dynamically set .
    

Problem conclusion

  • WebSphere Application Server runtime is updated to fix the
    TAI code that has the extraneous restriction in the redirect
    code flow.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 7.0.0.25.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
