Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: HATS Webfacing Customers using               *
  *                 programmatic invocation with parameter       *
  *                 variables and request header with            *
  *                 non-empty referer.                           *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When invoking webfacing application     *
  *                      programmatically login fails and        *
  *                      redirects to login error page with      *
  *                      message "Password not correct for       *
  *                      user profile XXXXXX."                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When a webfacing application is programmatically invoked from
  other web application, and if the request header "referer" is
  available, and clcmd is not provided, then that request is not
  being considered as programmatic invocation, hence user
  profile validation fails.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code was changed so that the invocation will be considered as
  programmatic invocation even if the invocation header referer
  field exists.
  

Temporary fix
