Additional Information
- When this problem exhibits itself the end user will still
get the appropriate Application Definitions as set by the Corporate
Redirection.
- If the Corporate Redirection is set on the user object (vs. the parent container) the Application Definitions will show as available through iManager.
- This problem is iManager's inability to appropriately read
and display Application Definitions when a Corporate Redirect is in
play. For instace if an Application Definition is set at the
root of the tree it will be available to all objects unless 2
conditions are met:
1. Stop tree walking attribute is set on the object in
question or on a object between the object in question and the root
of the tree.
2. If a Corporate Redirect is set on the object in question or
on the parent container of the object in question.
When this problem is manifest iManager will continue to
display the root Application Definition as being inherited on
the object in question. Even when the object in question has
the Corporate Redirection set on it or its parent container.
