When user authentication
in the IBM Spectrum Symphony 7.2 cluster is enabled through the GSS-Kerberos
security plug-in and Microsoft Active Directory (AD) is used as the Key
Distribution Center, user credentials exceed the browser’s maximum cookie size,
causing logons from the cluster management console to fail. This interim fix
provides a resolution for this issue.
