SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004, the policy file may be ignored when you use the Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for Web Services Enhancements (WSE) 2.0. For example, if you modify the policy file to encrypt or sign parts of a message, the whole message is encrypted or signed when you use the WSE adapter.

The policy file works as expected when you use a Microsoft .NET Framework client application.

File information
The English version of this hotfix has the file attributes (or later file attributes) that are listed in the following table. The dates and times for these files are listed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). When you view the file information, it is converted to local time. To find the difference between UTC and local time, use the Time Zone tab in the Date and Time tool in Control Panel.

MORE INFORMATION
This problem occurs because of a code defect in the WSE adapter. The WSE adapter uses the user name and password information that is stored in the send port to create the user name tokens for signing and encryption. Then, these user name tokens are added to the message context. After the user name token is added to the message header, the WSE adapter correctly applies the policy file.

After you apply this hotfix, the policy file works as expected when you use the WSE adapter.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
