Resolution

The workflow engine requires the parameter Content-Type to be populated in the header section of the sidebar. The workflow engine does not read the header value from the request envelope/body.

Notes

The header value was not mandatory in all legacy versions of RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle, thus this issue is commonly seen after upgrading from an older version.
