TIBCO Web Messaging for TIBCO EMS (TWM) 3.5 HTTP service will be affected if authorization ((HTTP Basic) is enabled and the default realm is used for authorization.

Environment:
===========
TIBCO Web Messaging for TIBCO EMS 3.5

Symptom:
==========
In TWM version 3.5, the gateway-config.xml includes the following configuration snippet.


&ltrealm>
      &ltname&gtdemo</name>
      &ltdescription&gtTIBCO Web Messaging for TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™ Demo</description>
...


The description, is supposed to appear as the title of the authorization window populated at client side (the concept of realm string). If we enable the authorization for the HTTP directory service and then try to access via http://&lthost>:&ltport>, the page iwill not be displayed.

If the trademark (™) characters is removed and TWM is restarted, everything works as expected. (A popup window for basic authentication is seen).


Resolution:
=========
Remove the Trademark symbol from description string. This will be removed from the default configuration file in future releases of TWM.
