Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IBM WebSphere Application Server * * administrators of SAML Web Single Sign-on * * (SSO) * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: More information required when custom * * class not found in SAML Web SSO * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Install a fix pack that contains this * * APAR. * **************************************************************** When a custom class is specified for use with SAML Web Single Sign-on trust association interceptor (TAI), if the custom class cannot be loaded, the TAI will not load and will not give any information about why it will not load. Information should be provided to indicate that the custom class cannot be loaded.
Problem conclusion
The SAML TAI is updated to provide more information when a class cannot be loaded: There will be two FFDCs, one from com.ibm.ws.wssecurity.util.ConfigUtil.instantiate and one from the com.ibm.ws.security.web.TrustAssociationManager.initialize. This error a stack will be in SystemErr.log: [1/14/16 13:12:52:927 CST] 00000001 SystemErr R com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.core.SoapSecurityException: CWWSS5007E: The com.barbja.garbage1 class cannot be located.: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.barbja.garbage1 This error a stack will be in SystemOut.log: [1/14/16 13:12:52:959 CST] 00000001 TrustAssociat E SECJ0384E: Trust Association Init Error. The Trust Association interceptor implementation com.ibm.ws.security.web.saml.ACSTrustAssociationInterceptor initialization failed. The error status/exception is com.ibm.websphere.security.WebTrustAssociationFailedException: com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.core.SoapSecurityException: CWWSS5007E: The com.barbja.garbage1 class cannot be located.: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.barbja.garbage1 You will only get these once during server startup, not on each request. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 7.0.0.41, 8.0.0.13, and 8.5.5.10.
