Federated Repositories Uses Wrong Security Domain

Local fix

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server users of   *
*                  federated repositories                      *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Federated Repositories Uses Wrong       *
*                      Security Domain                         *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
There are certain administrative commands (from either
WSADMIN or the administrative console) that will initialize
a user registry in Federated Repositories and set a
threadlocal containing the security domain name to use which
allows the command to be run on a separate security domain
than the request being made.
Some of these commands do not clear the threadlocal on
completion and the next request to use the same thread would
now read the threadlocal that had not been cleared. Eventually
a request could be received on the problematic thread that
didn't match the threadlocal domain name and errors would
ensue.
These errors may vary, but typically they were like the
following:
com.ibm.websphere.wim.exception.InvalidArgumentException:
CWWIM0500E The 'defaultWIMFileBasedRealm' realm name specified
is not valid.
The typical scenario when seeing the above error is that the
'defaultWIMFileBasedRealm' realm exists in the admin domain,
but not in the application domain that the request is intended
to run in.

Problem conclusion

Updated the code to clear the threadlocal that had been set
from a previous request.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 8.0.0.14, 8.5.5.13 and 9.0.0.6.  Please refer to the
