This section describes known issues and their workarounds for Oracle Identity Manager Release 9.0.1.2. It contains the following topics:
The following exception is thrown when running Oracle Identity Manager with WebSphere 5.1.1.12:
451d6f5e J2CXAResource W J2CA0007W: An exception occurred while invoking method setsetMcfPassword on com.ibm.ejs.jms.JMSManagedQue ueSessionFactory used by resource JMS$xlConnectionFactory$JMSManagedConnection@232058728 : com.ibm.ws.security.util.InvalidPasswordDecodingException
The preceding exception is thrown when WebSphere 5.1.1.12 attempts to decode an unencoded password. You can safely ignore this exception. For more information on this exception, search for APAR PK32670 on IBM's technical support Web site at
If a challenge question contains a ^ character, any text following the character is truncated. To resolve this issue, do not use ^ characters in your challenge questions.
An error is thrown if you perform a search that includes the wildcard character (*) and if the result set contains more than 1,000 records. When this occurs, the Administrative and User Console does not display any records. To resolve this issue, enter more specific search criteria.
Table 1 lists issues that have been resolved in Release 9.0.1.2.

was modified to return a long value instead of void.
Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible, with good usability, to the disabled community. To that end, our documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Accessibility standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers.
