  ****************************************************************
  After configuring Identity Assertion over CSIV2 so
  that a remtoe EJB can be invoked, both cells are unable to
  determine that Identity Assertion is enabled. In the CSIv2
  panels, specify Message layer authentication as "Never". The
  default values are removed because the disabled checkbox
  values do not get returned on the request.
  

Problem conclusion

• When "Never" is selected, we no longer change the default
  message layer authentication.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 8.5.0.2 and 8.0.0.7.  Please refer to the Recommended
