APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • in AD 505 Analyze Client user couldn't view projects when their
user ID is entered in uppercase in Configuration Server but
they had logged in to Windows using a different (lower or
mixed) case.

Local fix

  • The user 'Name' is case sensitive and
could be entered in Configuration Server
in the same way that the user logs in.
The user 'Domain' field is case insensitive.

Problem summary

  • The case (upper, mixed, lower) of characters in the Name part
of a user's credentials that the user typed when they logged
into Windows is being used to compare against what is entered
in IBM AD Configuration Server.
If the user logs in with characters of a different case than
what was entered in Configuration Server, and projects are
restricted to using only Access Control Lists (ACLs), this will
prevent the user from seeing their projects in Analyze Client.

Problem conclusion

  • For Windows users, authentication for project access via ACLs
in Configuration Server is changed in IBM AD code so that the
check against the Name part of user credentials is now
case-insensitive.  Domain part of user credentials was, and
will remain, case-insensitive.

Temporary fix
