This  was working for months  until the  WAS  server  running/hosting   the RTC server was upgraded  from  WAS 8.0.0.4  to  8.0.0.6.  Now my batch/compute Grid program fails on logon
getting same error  as  https://jazz.net/forum/questions/116582/getting-exception-on-the-iteamrepositorylogin-method   but the mentioned resolution  does not  work for  me

Trying a simple  standlone  login  works  but the  my application  hosted on  WAS  does it (repo.login) we  get the  error . Any help is appreciated . This  has suddenly  derailed  months  of  work

public Connection getConnection(ConnectionSpec spec) throws BaseException{
        final String methodName = "getConnection";
        final RTCConnectionSpec rtcSpec = (RTCConnectionSpec)spec;
        RTCConnection connection = new RTCConnection();
        
        ITeamRepository repository = TeamPlatform.getTeamRepositoryService().getTeamRepository(rtcSpec.getRepoURL());
        repository.registerLoginHandler(new ITeamRepository.ILoginHandler() {
            public ILoginInfo challenge(ITeamRepository repository) {
                return new ILoginInfo() {
                    public String getUserId() {
                        return rtcSpec.getUserName();
                    }
                    public String getPassword() {
                        return rtcSpec.getPassword();                        
                    }
                };
            }
        });
        
        //progressMonitor.subTask("Contacting " + repository.getRepositoryURI() + "...");        
        LOGGER.logp(Level.INFO, CLASSNAME, methodName, "Connecting to " + repository.getRepositoryURI() + "...");       
        try {
            repository.login(progressMonitor);
            //progressMonitor.subTask("Connected");    
             LOGGER.logp(Level.INFO, CLASSNAME, methodName, "Connected to " + repository.getRepositoryURI());                
            connection.setRepository(repository);
        } catch (TeamRepositoryException e) {
            throw new BaseException(ErrorConstants.RTC_LOGIN_ERROR, e);
        }
