PH53672: EGL CICS WEB SERVICE (PROVIDER MODE) AUTHENTICATION HANDLER

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Enable EGL developer to invoke CICS Web Service (Provider Mode)
  to process the security token in the SOAP header of the service
  request.
  

Local fix

• RBD provided a new pipeline to authenticate the user
  credentials. The authentication can taken care by CICS and
  manual. For manual authentication, RBD has provided header
  program ELAHEAD to authenticate the user credentials.

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the APAR                               *
  ****************************************************************
  Enable EGL developer to invoke
  CICS Web Service (Provider Mode)
  to process the security token in the
  SOAP header of the service
  request.
  

Problem conclusion

• Apply the APAR, Then the SOAP client can access the WSSDL with
  authentication details in header. These details shared to
  CICS system and it will verify user credentials.
  Authentication can happen in two wasy.
  1. CICS authentication
  2. Manual authentication, for this authentication, by using
     new pgm ELAHEAD. Which comes along with EGL COBOL RT.
