Error description
After you upgrade to IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) V8.5.6.0 cumulative fix 1 or cumulative fix 2, when you use web service integration to invoke a target web service server, the WSDL is protected, and you haven't set basic authentication for the web service integration, the invocation might failed with HTTP status code 401.
Local fix
Set the Security field with "Use Basic Authentication". In WS Security tab. Select "HTTP Authentication" as Authencation method and provide correct username and password.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IBM BPM Advanced * * IBM BPM Standard * * IBM BPM Express * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: After you upgrade to IBM Business * * Process Manager (BPM) V8.5.6.0 * * cumulative fix 1 or cumulative fix 2, * * when you use web service integration * * to invoke a target web service * * server, the WSDL is protected, and * * you haven't set basic authentication * * for the web service integration, the * * invocation might failed with HTTP * * status code 401. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The Protected WSDL check box shows that the WSDL is protected only by the basic authentication instead of the web service provider. In IBM BPM V8.5.6.0 cumulative fix 1 and cumulative fix 2 we corrected this behavior. With these cumulative fixes applied, protected WSDL controls only the WSDL authentication. The web service provider protection is controlled by security configuration from the Security tab. However, if you haven óÔé¼Ôäót set this configuration after upgr to these cumulative fixes, you can change this behavior in the appropriate 100Custom.xml to your topology: <common merge="mergeChildren"> <webservices merge="mergeChildren"> <use-protect-wsdl-auth-in-webservice merge="replace">true</use-protect-wsdl-auth-in-webservice> </webservices> </common> With this changed configuration, the default value will be set to true.
Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
The code fix that enables the security configuration option to be added in the 100Custom.xml file will be included in a future release of IBM BPM.
