Error description
We have changed the security of the Gateway between v7.2 and v9.2 to ensure that no password is available in clear text on dumping the code. This caused the password field not to be set in the Gateway. The serverSecurity exits cannot see it in clear as it is not available in the gateway.
Local fix
