PROBLEM SUMMARY
 *  ****************************************************************
   * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
   *                  Server V8.0 and higher.                     *

   * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
   ****************************************************************
   SECJ0371W messages log every event of an LTPA token
   expiration. LTPA token expirations are expected under normal
   circumstances. Although at times these messages can alert
   customers to unexpected conditions. For instance a client
   continues to send an expired token repeatedly.
   The customer is requesting the ability to disable the logging
   of the SECJ0371W message.
   
   
    
   
   

PROBLEM CONCLUSION
 *  A security custom property will be used to disable the logging
   of the SECJ0371W message. Setting this property to true will
   disable future logging of the message.
