APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When when an LDAP CQ user tries to run an OSLC query the authentication fails if there is any group set as restricted in the CQWeb server to which the OSLC queries are directed. The dialog box prompting for user name and password keeps on reappearing even if the correct credentials are used. As a result the user is unable to run any OSLC query. This behavior exists in CQ versions 7.1.2.12, 8.0.0.8 and 8.0.1.1. Steps to reproduce: - In CQWeb Site Administration -? Site Configuration -? Security Options, enter group name in the 'Restricted User Groups' text box and apply the changes - Log out from CQWeb and run any OSLC query, such as (substituting the appropriate DBSET and USERDB values) http://localhost/cqweb/oslc/repo/DBSET/db/USERDB - When prpmpted for authentication, enter the valid credentials for an LDAP authenticated user - Note that the authentication dialog box returns, even if the credentials are correct
