When the the EncodingType attribute is included on the
wsse:Nonce element in the Security header of an inbound SOAP
message, the following error may occur at the receiver of the
message:

17.11.09 13:53:46:390 CET] 0000003f WSNonceManage E CWWSS0121E:
The Nonce is null or of zero length. The Nonce is a randomly
generated value.

Following is an example of a Nonce element that will cause the
error:

<wsse:Nonce EncodingType="
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-soap-mes
sage- security-1.0#Base64Binary">
q+XSjt6vcCbtee75lMSkwQ==</wsse:Nonce>

The wsse namespace is
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2002/xx/secext

Problem conclusion

This problem occurs because the WS-Security runtime is not
recognizing the value provided for the EncodingType attribute
on the wsse:Nonce element.  During runtime, the "http:"
portion of the value is being improperly removed before being
compared to the list of recognized values.

The WS-Security runtime is updated to properly process the
EncodingType attribute on the wsse:Nonce element.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 7.0.0.11.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
