APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • In SOAP webservice flows, the AppliesTo value is not preserved
    for username tokens without a password.
    
    If you have a security profile configured on the input node to
    interact with the WS-Trust server, the AppliesTo value is
    constructed when an inbound username token does not have a
    password, in the following form:
    <broker name>.<execution group name>.<flow name>
    
    This gets rejected at the WS-Trust server side.
    

Local fix

  • Alternatively, you can use a SecurityPEP node to specify the
    AppliesTo value as a work-around.

    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    In SOAP webservice flows, the AppliesTo value is not preserved
    for username tokens without a password.
    
    If you have a security profile configured on the input node to
    interact with the WS-Trust server, the AppliesTo value is
    constructed when an inbound message with a username token does
    not have a password, in the following form:
    <broker name>.<execution group name>.<flow name>
    
    This may get rejected at the WS-Trust server side.
    
    There are a number of resource name changes between WebSphere
    Message Broker and IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0. For details

    tools.mft.doc/bb23814_.htm
    

Problem conclusion

  • The product now correctly sets the endpoint name as the
    AppliesTo value in the case of username tokens with or without
    passwords.
