JR56686: Registered users cannot log on automatically after registering from a unique guest session

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a unique guest shopper creates an account with the store, and
  if the store sends an HTTP REST request to register the unique
  guest user (POST /wcs/resources/store/<storeid>/person ), then
  the returned response updates the WCSTrustedToken, but not the
  WC_AUTHENTICATION.
  
  This causes the next log on request to fail with a cookie
  authentication issue.
  This issue only occurs for unique guest users, and is not a
  problem for generic guest users who create an account.
