com.ibm.bpm.security.provider.TeamWorksSecurityException: Unable to load the BPM security provider

Question

I'm getting the following exception in an attempt to run the switchToCustomSecurityProvider.py script from the command line for an IBM BPM 8.0.1 Advanced installation. Any ideas why this could be happening?

This might have happened due to a fact that bootstrapping process server data might not have properly been performed.

After creating the deployment environment (which I suppose you have already done) make sure you bootstrap the data for the BPM (process server) database.
