Error description
The Authorization header propagation custom property (com.ibm.ws.http.PropagateAuthorizationHeader) of the HTTP binding, introduced with interim fix JR39717, is not described in the documentation. To use the Authorization header propagation custom property (com.ibm.ws.http.PropagateAuthorizationHeader), you must define the system JVM property. The header will be propagated across a module and, if you do not explicitly remove the header, the header will be used in subsequent invocations in the same thread. Note, however, that the values you set are not checked or validated. Therefore, an improper or incorrect header might cause HTTP invocation problems at run time. When Authorization header propagation is enabled and the HTTPAuthentication is also set, the Authorization header propagation has the higher priority.
