Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server using login modules                  *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Login modules do not work for direct    *
    *                      lookups                                 *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Direct lookups default to res-auth Application.  Without a way
    to change the default value, login modules require indirect
    lookups with a resource reference configured with res-auth
    Container.
    

Problem conclusion

  • For direct lookups the default value of res-auth
    Application can be changed to Container by using connection
    pool custom property enableContainerAuthForDirectLookups=true.
     This will allow login modules to be used with direct lookups.
    
    The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
    8.5.5.21 and 9.0.5.11. For more information, see 'Recommended
