  The SAP error message DP_SHARED179 indicates that there is an issue with the authorization request when using the AuthByDP method. Specifically, the error states that a source should not be provided for a reauthorization request.

  Cause:
  The error is caused by the system receiving a reauthorization request that incorrectly includes a source parameter.

  Review the Code/Configuration: Check the code or configuration that is generating the reauthorization request. Ensure that it does not include the source parameter when calling the AuthByDP method.
  
  
  Modify the Request: If you are programmatically generating the request, modify it to exclude the source parameter when it is a reauthorization request.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the reauthorization process to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the authorization checks are functioning as expected.
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the Data Protection framework and the AuthByDP method to understand the expected parameters and usage patterns.
