4.How to Configure CA APM to use LDAP Authentication (Introscope and APM CE) TEC595290
Description: CA APM gives you choices for securing and authorizing access to some or all of the features and domains of the Enterprise Manager and Workstation. Using LDAP, you can authenticate user and group access with CA APM while maintaining user and group authorization in local configuration files.
There are 3 ways to secure CA APM
Local - Users and groups are both authenticated and given authorization via local configuration files maintained on the Enterprise Manager server.
LDAP - Users and groups are authenticated by LDAP directories but authorized by local configuration files maintained on the Enterprise Manager server or CA EEM.
EEM - Users and groups are both authenticated and authorized by a CA EEM (CA Embedded Entitlements Manager) server for CA APM activities.
This article discusses how you can integrate CA APM with your own LDAP directory for authentication to the APM Workstation and Enterprise Manager.

7.Why are WebSphere nodes in a cluster failing to start, even if one node is not instrumented? TEC614151
Description: The IBM Class Sharing feature, which is enabled out of box, causes classes to be stored locally. The classes could contain bytecode instrumented by the Agent. So even if the Agent is removed, those references are still loaded and can cause startup issues. This article addresses how to resolve this issue and what can be done to configure Class Sharing properly.

11.How to implement CA EEM and LDAP for Authentication and Authorization of CA APM
TEC593939
Description: Using CA EEM, CA Embedded Entitlements Manager, in conjunction with a supported LDAP Server, it is possible to eliminate manual updates to CA APM configuration files every time you need to add a new user, change a password or update access permissions.
CA EEM allows you to utilize a supported LDAP server for authentication while it controls authorization policies for LDAP users and groups. If you do not use LDAP, EEM can even perform authentication duties using the secure, proprietary CA Directory, which is included.
CA EEM is bundled with CA APM and is available from the APM Product Downloads Page on support.ca.com. It can be installed on the same or a separate server as the Enterprise Manager.. CA EEM supports many CA products, serving as a single point of control for authentication and authorization.

14.MQ Agent cannot connect to MQ Server. ssl handshake failure. Reason code 2397 MQRC_JSSE_ERROR TEC606483
Description: The MQ Agent fails to connect to the MQ Server when using SSL set to Required Client Authentication.
When the SSL channel is configured for non-required client authentication, it allows full connectivity, but when the channel is set to required client authentication the connection fails.
Note that the functionality works even when not using SSL.
When SHA or MD5 is configured on channel APM.SSL.SVRCONN, the Client/MQ server connection negotiation throws a JSSE exception. This occurs even when the MQ server certificate has been added to the client and the client certificate has been added to the server.
The following messages are logged in the Agent Log:
