  The user name and password for the protected WSDL option is
  used to retrieve the WSDL content from the WSDL provider. The
  authentication token shouldn óÔé¼Ôäót be included for the SOAP
  request when the http basic authentication is not enabled for
  that web
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.5.0 that ensures basic
  authentication header is removed from the SOAP request.
