  The following harmless information message is cluttering the
  SystemOut.log file:
  AuthChallenge I
  org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.AuthChallengeProcessor
  selectAuthScheme basic authentication scheme selected
  The message is recorded for each Process Server heartbeat,
  which is often configured every 10 seconds.
  This issue occurs because the heartbeat from Process Server to
  Process Center used the wrong authentication setting.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 that ensures that the
  heartbeat uses the correct authentication setting .
