PI20126: PASSWORD ON A CONNECTION FACTORY IS NOT DECODED WHEN USED TO ESTABLISH A CONNECTION

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

When a password is configured on a Connection Factory, it will
be encoded and saved in the resources.xml file.  When the
Connection Factory is used to establish a connection to the
resource, the password is sent in encoded format instead of
being decoded.
The connection will fail because the backend resource does not
understand the encoded password.  The following error may be
generated:
javax.jms.JMSSecurityException: User name [test] or password is
invalid.

****************************************************************
When a password is configured on a Connection Factory or
Administered Objects, it will be encoded and saved in the
resources.xml file. The password is not decoded in the runtime
and hence it fails to establish a  connection.
The following error is generated:
javax.jms.JMSSecurityException: User name [test] or password is
invalid.

Problem conclusion

The password is now decoded in the runtime and the decoded
password is used in connection requests.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pacsk 8.0.0.10 and 8.5.5.4.  Please refer to the
