Method "authenticateApplication" no longer works in 2.7.1

This was tested using CROWD Apache Connector 1.3, worked perfectly till 2.7.0 but stops working after upgrade to 2.7.1.

A rollback to 2.7.0 fixes this.

Error on Logs:

SOAP service fault for method: authenticateApplication

Steps to reproduce:

1. Deploy CROWD 2.7.0
2. Set apache to authenticate against CROWD, using Connector version 1.3
3. Verify that it's working
4. Upgrade to CROWD 2.7.1
5. Verify it's no longer working
