Error description
When using Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) to make an outbound request using a HTTP, SOAP or REST request node then the node will continue to send the authentication token repeatedly for every request on the same connection. This is unnecessary if persistent-auth is supported on the remote server, since once the authentication has been established this is valid for the lifetime of the connection or the auth token (whichever is smaller).
