IT17365: SOAPREQUEST NODE DOES NOT PICK THE CHANGED IDENTITYSOURCEPASSWORD

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If you have a flow of the following form
  
  1. SOAPInput node receives username and password and propagates
  in the Properties tree.
  
  2. A Transformation node changes the password value
     (IdentitySourcePassword) of Properties tree.
  
  3. A SOAPRequest node is expected to pick the username and new
  password and propagate it in the outgoing message as a basicauth
  header or Ws-Security Username token.
  
  It is observed that SOAPRequest node uses the old password
  (incoming password) instead of the new value in the properties
  tree. If you change the userid, behaviour is as expected.
