Issue/Introduction
Error Message :
U00003234 Logon error: Access denied. (Connection='*[CP/LoginID]', host = [HOSTNAME])
If a logon via a CallAPI is processed using an LDAP User/Password within the Login, the encrypted password is not resolved correctly returning the above error message.
The password exit does not work if the password is encrypted. Instead the password exit is called with the encrypted password without decrypting the password first causing the error.
The error has been seen when using the CallAPI on LINUX when the Automation Engine it tried to log onto was on AIX. However, this behavior could also occur on other Operating Systems.
