      • APAR IZ66416

        Symptom:

        The user sees the Encentuate Credential Provider dialog again under the following circumstances:
        • If the Encentuate Credential Provider unlock dialog on a Windows Vista machine is opened and not completed within 5 minutes.
        • If the system is not idle at the same time.
        • If the user is attempting to unlock.
      • APAR IZ63198

        Symptom:

        Remote installation of software packages on client PCs where nobody is logged on fails on Windows XP SP2 because Tivoli Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On EnGINA does not allow remote commands to run.

      • Internal defect 16294

        On a shared workstation with private desktop configuration:
        • The generic account feature is enabled.
        • Active Directory domain user account is used as the default auto-admin logon account.

        Symptom:

        A deadlock occurs when a VBscript or a JavaScript™ in an AccessProfile enters a timeout-based loop, which on each iteration checks an HTML document to see if there is an element.

      • APAR IZ54011

        Symptom:

        A Windows application fails to display its window because AccessAgent creates a sign-in listener thread inside the application.
