Error description
Starting with Fix Pack 7.0.0.7 email validation has been included during user registration to protect against a potential security vulnerability if malicious characters were inserted into the email columns. Client, however, needs the flexibility to allow not to validate email parameters. This APAR is to change AddressDo.isEmailAddressValid(String strEmail) to be a protected method, instead of being private (it's current specification). Then, the customer could create a subclass of SelfAddressDO.java (which extends AddressDO.java) and override this method. The customer would also have to override LDAPIntegrationCmdImpl.getUserDOs() so that UserSyncBean will use the new subclass of SelfAddressDO. Similarly, they may need to override LDAPIntegrationCmdImpl.getOrganizationDOs() so that OrganizationSyncBean will use the new subclass of SelfAddressDO
