Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users of        *
*                 UNTGUIPromptCallbackHandler to retrieve      *
*                 user data for WS-Security UsernameToken      *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: UNTGUIPromptCallbackHandler is not      *
*                      adding nonce or timestamp to            *
*                      UsernameTokens when configured to do so.*
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When using the UNTGUIPromptCallbackHandler to retrieve user
data for the WS-Security UsernameToken login module, the nonce
and timestamp configuration are ignored. The UsernameToken
is generated without nonce and timestamp. As a result, the
token will be rejected by recipient if nonce and timestamp are
required.

Problem conclusion

The UNTGUIPromptCallbackHandler is fixed to correctly pass
nonce and timestamp configuration to the WS-Security
UsernameToken login module.  The UsernameToken is generated
with the correct nonce and timestamp if required.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 6.1.0.27 and 7.0.0.5.  Please refer to the
