IBM Platform Symphony 6.1.1 Interim Fix 394300 Readme File

Abstract

Authentication fails because of incompatible security settings between the client and server, without an appropriate error message.

Description

Authentication will fail when security plugin settings specified in the EGO_SEC_PLUGIN parameter in the ego.conf file on both the client and server are incompatible. With this enhancement, the system will prompt you with an appropriate message to help you check the security plugin setting issues.


This fix applies to Linux x86_64 platforms.
