IBM Platform Symphony 5.2 Interim Fix for #234521 Readme File
Abstract
Authentication fails in the MapReduce version 5.2 GUI when the LDAP security plug-in is enabled.
Description
1. When the LDAP security plug-in is enabled,
the user can log on to PMC and view Symphony workload, but the user cannot view MapReduce
workload. Authentication error is reported in the security plug-in log at
server side.
2. The workaround for the issue is to add the env parameter ˇ°EGO_SEC_PLUGIN_FOR_SOAM=sec_ego_ext_ldapˇ±
in the file $EGO_CONFDIR/ego.conf and then restart
the cluster.
This fix addresses the following issue:
Authentication fails in the MapReduce version 5.2 GUI when the LDAP security plug-in is enabled. Authentication should be successful if the user is already logged on to the PMC.
