  value for username token.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM Integration Bus V9.0 and V10.0 using
  SOAPRequest nodes with policy bindings.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  z/OS, MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The password value in an outgoing username token is always
  plaintext. The user does not have an option to send out digest
  of the password.
  
  There are a number of resource name changes between WebSphere
  Message Broker and IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0.  For details

  tools.mft.doc/bb23814_.htm
  

Problem conclusion

• The policy set binding editor now has a new option, under
  Authentication Token panel, named 'Password Digest'. If you turn
  this option to 'yes', any SOAPRequest node using the consumer
  binding will send out the password value in digest form instead
  of plain text.
