IT00146: AUTHORIZATION ERROR OCCURS DURING A VIRTUAL APPLICATION INSTANCE DELETION

IBM PureApplication System Version 1.1.0.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During system test negative path testing there were cases where
  multiple deletes were issued against the same virtual
  application instance. Log investigation shows that there were
  first failure data capture (FFDC) errors appearing in the logs:
  
  ClientAuthenticationException: Service failed to authenticate;
     returned 401 com.ibm.maestro.kernel.services.Deployer 3999
  
  Exception = org.apache.wink.client.ClientAuthenticationException
  ...
  Stack Dump =
  org.apache.wink.client.ClientAuthenticationException:
         Service failed to authenticate; returned 401
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Authorization errors were being thrown within the client REST
  API call being used in the delete operation because a method in
  the code was using the wrong client security context.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been updated to use the correct client security
  context.
  

Temporary fix
