Error description

  • The commands connecting to integration node using -i URI
    parameter with security credentials in URI, fail to
    authenticate if the password is percent-encoded format. Example
    - mqsideploy
    
    If the password contains URI reserved characters, then they must
    be converted to percent-encoded format before using it in the
    "-i URI" option of the command. This fails at the moment with
    authentication failure.

    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    The commands that connect to an integration node using the -i
    URI parameter with security credentials in it, fail to
    authenticate if the password is in percent-encoded format.
    
    If the password contains URI reserved characters, then they must
    be converted to percent-encoded format before using it in the
    "-i URI" option of the command. This currently fails with
    authentication failure.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The commands using URI parameter to connect to integration node
    now work without authentication failure if the password contains
    reserved characters and are in percent-encoded format in URI.
