Shutdown of a server in a cluster

Question

          Hi everybody!
          Our application is made up of an object cluster with 2 servers (serving EJBs). We
          use Bea WLS 5.1 SP9.
          When we stop a server (we do this with a delay (lock) ) so that pending operations
          can be finished properly) the cleints receive a 'Security exception'. This is ok
          for requests that go to the server that is shutting down. However even the second
          server in the cluster throws 'security exceptions' during this locking phase.
          Only after the first server is really shut down, the second server accepts requests
          again.
          I find this behaviour is really strange.
          Is this a general behavior, a bug of weblogic or did we configure our cluster wrongly?

          This is fixed in one of SP. Please install SP5.
