AMBA will only search for users in the default security domain (i. e., SystemDomain) and in the internal database if no specific domain or identity source is defined in the command input file.
Resolution
- For specifying a security domain, add the field SecurityDomain in the header for the security domain information.
- For specifying an identity source, add the field named IdentitySource in the header for the identity source information.
