  ****************************************************************
  A java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException may be thrown,
  caused by a java.lang.NullPointerException while attempting to
  establish a client JMS connection to a service integration bus.
  
  The stack of the NullPointerException which causes the
  InvocationTargetException contains the following method:
  com.ibm.ws.sib.security.auth.AuthUtilsImpl
                                  .getOpaqueAuthorizationToken()
  
  The service integration bus was incorrectly invoking a method
  which should not be called in an environment where global
  security is disabled.
