If you use sap-user and sap-password, you might have noticed that it is not working anymore and you would get authentication error "HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized".

http://<server>:<port>/HttpAdapter/HttpMessageServlet?interfaceNamespace=test.com&interface=Test_Out&senderService=TEST_BS&senderParty=&receiverParty=&receiverService=&qos=BE&j_username=testuser&j_password=testpwd
