Hi Lasindu, That is a good alternative. But anyway we will have to test our webapps thoroughly after applying kernel patches. Since Carbon user core has been patched multiple times we may have to completely test identity related features (oauth, jwt tokens, metadata service etc.) as well.
IMO, it is better to properly fix this in p2 profile by uplifting the webapp mgt feature. Also that is not the only feature I had to uplift. @All: appreciate your thoughts on this. Are we going to do this in next release? Thanks.
