PK97645: WEB CONTAINER SHOULD RESET A STALE CONVERGED COOKIE

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

If the HTTP message has a wrong logical name encoded in it,
due to a stale converged cookie, and it tries to create a
SipApplicationSession, the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
container will ignore it and use a valid one. The HTTP contaier
should reset the cookie with the valid logical name

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server V7.0 users *
*                  who use converged Session Initiation        *
*                  Protocol (SIP) sessions and send a stale    *
*                  cookie to the server.                       *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When SIP applications send a stale      *
*                      converged cookie, the new cookie        *
*                      returned is encoded with a wrong        *
*                      logical name.                           *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When SIP applications send a stale converged cookie, a wrong
logical name is embedded in the cookie. The SIP container
creates a new SipApplicationSession but with a wrong logical
name. As a result of the wrong logical name in the converged
cookie, unexpected application behavior could occur.

Problem conclusion

Code changes have been made to the http session manager to
reset the logical name upon receipt of a stale converged
cookie.
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 7.0.0.9.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
