11g Error getPrincipal When Trying To Delete a Custom Role Or Group In Enterprise Manager

You log into enterprise Manager 11g as the web logic Administrative user. When you try to delete a custom LDAP Role
or a custom LDAP Group, which is associated with a custom role, you get the following error

The custom Role or Group did not have an associated GUID attribute for the custom Role or Group entries. The GUID

attribute should be present in both users and groups. From the stack trace, the Delete action is failing when fetching

the GUID attribute for a role or group.

For more information, see Bug 13800776 - bug 13147048

For solving this issue please follow the below steps, I have tested OBIEE (11.1.1.7.1) version. Might this solution will work OBIEE 11.1.1.5 and 11.1.1.6.

1. Backup the {Middleware_Home}/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/config/fmwconfig/system-jazndata.

xml file.

2. Edit the system-jazn-data.xml file and remove the custom group entries and custom role entries in the file.

3. Save the file.

4. Restart WLS & BIEE services and test.

Thanks,
