****************************************************************
The SessionFactory does not setPasswordAuthentication properly
on the session resource in a way that
getPasswordAuthentication could not get the Password to
connect when the session has a mail transport or store port
specified or the username contains an encoded character.

Problem conclusion

The SessionFactory is fixed to handle URLName and
PasswordAuthenication properly when the mail transport or
store port is specified or the username contains a speciail
character.

APAR PM19375 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.15 of WebSphere Application Server V7.0.

Please refer to URL:
//www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=404&uid=swg27006970
for Fix Pack availability.

Temporary fix

Before connecting to store or transport, perform the
following on the session returned from the lookup:
session.setPasswordAuthentication( new UrlNameConstructor(
protocol, host, intPort, null, user, null), new
PasswordAuthentication( user, password ));
