I performed the password change request on the client seperately for each log level. The client connects to the consumer which chains back to the supplier server. Log Levels Enabled: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Acces Control Summary Plug-ins Heavy Trace Output Connection Management Log Communications with shell databases In all cases there is nothing whatsoever in the logs to indicate an authentication failure. I have carefully checked them. I will gladly do the test again with any or all log levels required and provide a link to view them.
