Based on the version of the Oracle Utilities application (and the Oracle Utilities Application Framework), the web service requests are expected to include additional information apart from the user credentials. In order to support this, two new properties have been introduced in the configuration.properties file using which users can specify the authentication used by the environment.

For the latest versions of Oracle Utilities applications, a timestamp is expected in the web service requests. For these environments, specify the header type as TIMESTAMP, the other property gStrTimeToLive specifies the validity of the request in seconds.

In cases where the configuration.properties contains details of more than one environment, prefix the header property with the application string.

For the older versions of Oracle Utilities applications, only the user credentials are expected. So specify the header as USERTOKEN.

In cases where there is a mix of environments that use the new header type and old header type in the same configuration.properties file, specify the properties for individual environments as follows.
