Problem conclusion

In an overloaded environment, there is a chance that a
DerivedKeyToken is being processed before the associated
Kerberos binary security token is consumed. If this happens,
the scenario can result in a "wsc:DerivedKeyToken was not
expected" exception.

A reasonable cushion time has been added in the Kerberos token
consumer when the derived key token look up is done. This gives
the token consumer time to complete processing of the binary
security token.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fixpack 7.0.0.3.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
