How to resolve this error and reduce the log files from filling up?

Environment

Release: CAIDMB99000-12.6.8-Identity Manager-B to B
Component:

Resolution

This issue occurs when the CA Identity Manager product is integrated with SiteMinder. The value PasswordData in CA Directory is filled with a value that Identity Manager doesn't recognize and this causes the server.log file to be filled up with error messages. This can be avoided by creating a new directory of users when the product is integrated with SiteMinder or clearing out the PasswordData field for every single user in the Directory store being used.
