                      December 16 2008: Initial Release

OVERVIEW:

	Tivoli Provisioning Manager (TPM), Tivoli Provisioning Manager for
	Software (TPMfSW) and Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator (TIO) do not
	correctly authenticate users who attempt to run SOAP commands. [1]


IMPACT:

	LDAP users who belong to the domain used by TPM, TPMfSW or TIO are
	able to run SOAP commands. This is only the case if LDAP
	authentication is shared with other applications. [1]


MITIGATION:

	IBM has released Interim Fix IF0006 for 5.1.1.1 to correct this
	issue. Users of other versions must upgrade to 5.1.1.1 before
	installing Interim Fix IF0006. [1]
