Solaris Authorization Bug Prevents Provisioning from SUN IDM

Thought I'd drop a note to myself more than anything on this topic, I was working with a colleague and provisioning users to a Solaris 10 system in order to test some Sun Secure Global Desktop use-cases for a customer demonstration. The Solaris resource adapter inside Sun Identity Manager was giving the following exception:

com.waveset.util.WavesetException: An error occurred adding user 'pwalker' to resource 'Solaris - dde880'. com.waveset.util.WavesetException: loop> loop> loop> loop> UX: useradd: ERROR: solaris.jobs.users is not a valid authorization. Choose another.

Google to the rescue, with the following bug 6337435 reference, here's the solution to save the 'click'

Change "solaris.jobs.users" to "solaris.jobs.user" in /etc/security/prof_attr.
## 05/10/16 gww ##
The workaround should probably say change in /etc/security/prof_attr

Thanks Rene for the pointer !
