We are using PayPal Payflow Gateway and PayPal Processor and for every credit card transaction we are receiving the same authorization code "111111". Is this a problem or a desired behavior?

When you are using PayPal as your bank, the authorization code will be 111111 as you have seen. This is normal behavior.
FYI: PayPal does not return an authorization code and to stay backwards compatible for Payflow merchants we just populate the AUTHCODE with 111111.
