An OSB Proxy is secured using the OWSM policy "oracle/wss11_kerberos_token_with_message_protection_basic128_service_policy" in FMW 11.1.1.7. Accessing the Proxy works fine under JDK 1.7.0_21 but under JDK 1.7.0_80 it raises a NullPointerException.
Setting "-Dsun.security.krb5.debug=true" and comparing the output shows the following output lines are missing from JDK.1.7.0_80.
