HTTP Client Shared Resource and Authentication Issue

For certain types of service, the service can cache authentication credentials which can cause the authentication of invalid credentials to work.

You can configure the http client shared resource to avoid these issues.

  • Partition the HTTP Client Shared Resources so that each application has its own application-scoped HTTP Client (which should be redeployed each time the application is redeployed, thus preventing the unintended reuse).

  • If HTTP Client Shared Resources have to be shared across applications, disable connection pooling in the HTTP Client Shared Resource (on the Advanced Configuration tab) thus preventing the unintended reuse.
