JMS Messaging Modular Input on heavy forwarder: Why am I unable to create a connection using Client ID?

Hi Splunkers/Splunkettes,

I have recently installed and configured the JMS Messaging Modular Input add-on a heavy forwarder, and I am unable to create a durable connection. In my configuration I use the Client ID: "SPLUNK#Consumer" as well as a few other simpler variations (SPLUNK_PREPROD & SK) and am still having no joy as Splunk is reporting the Client Id isn't set.

(Sorry about the kruddy quality)

Sure enough, WebMethods reports that the connection is coming from an unknown account and creates an ephemeral user (vclient20-67494 or something like that).

We are able to get data, we are just not able to create a durable subscription of said data which is a problem.

We have tested from non-Splunk applications and it functions as as expected. Is there something I'm missing here?

Any and all help greatly appreciated!
