Symptoms

Running the synchronizeUserInformation script with operationType='DELETE_NONEXISTENT_USERS', it includes the weblogic user from the embeded LDAP when WebCenter Portal is configured with an external LDAP.

Expected Behavior
Expect the script not to include groups.

Steps To reproduce:

The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps.

1. Run the synchronizeUserInformation script with operationType to 'LIST_NONEXISTENT_USERS'.
    
   • Connect to the WebCenter server.
   • Create a directory to save the properties file generated by the snchronizeUserInformation script.
   • Set the ORACLE_HOME to the Webcenter Home.
     For example, in my case:
     export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/fmw11g/Oracle_WC1
   • Navigate to the <WCP_HOME>/common/bin directory.
     e.g:
     cd $ORACLE_HOME/common/bin
   • Start the WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST):
     ./wlst.sh
   • Connect to the Admin Server:
     e.g.:
     connect()
   • Run the synchronizeUserInformation script with operationType='LIST_NONEXISTENT_USERS' .
     e.g.:
      
      
     The above is wrong.
     We should not delete the weblogic user from embedded LDAP as the user can be used for other administration task in the domain.
