Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The UserRegistry.getUsersForGroup * * does not return nested members of a * * group in LDAP when configured LDAP * * repository baseEntries * * and nameInRepository differs. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The UserRegistry API call getUsersForGroup(), does not return nested members of subgroups for an Ldap repository when baseEntries and nameInRepository differs in LDAP repository configuration, even when you specify a parameter to get the nested members. The API call completes without an exception but only direct members of the group are returned.
Problem conclusion
In order to get nested members from the API call getUsersForGroup(), you need to set a custom property "com.ibm.ws.wim.adapter.ldap.returnNestedNonGroupMembers" with value "true". In order to set this property, use the following command: $AdminTask setIdMgrCustomProperty { -id <Ldap Repository Id> -name com.ibm.ws.wim.adapter.ldap.returnNestedNonGroupMembers -value true} Here "Ldap_Repository_Id" is the repository id of the LDAP configured in VMM. Also save the configuration after running the previous command using: $AdminConfig save The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 7.0.0.39, 8.0.0.11 and 8.5.5.6.
