The sample application of Agent for IBM WebSphere Application Server provides incorrect information about the role required (6452733)

This issue applies to both Agent for IBM WebSphere Application Server 5.1.1 and Agent for IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.0.

The sample application issues a message that erroneously states that you must be logged in with the role “employee” in order to be granted access.

The following specific conditions apply:

• Install and configure Agent for IBM WebSphere Application Server

• Deploy the sample application.

• Invoke the declarative J2EE security test sample.

  At this point, a message appears saying that access to this servlet requires you to belong to the “employee” role.

• Log in with the role “employee.”

• Access is denied.

• Log in with the role “manager.”

• Access is allowed.

Workaround: None. However, be aware of the situation and be sure to log in as a user who belongs to the “manager” role.
