PM33471: USERID NOT PASSED TO IMS WHEN USING IMS LOCAL CONNECT OPTION IN A SERVER RUNNING IN 64 BIT MODE

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

Customer wants to connect to IMS. When the application attempts
to make use of the IMS LocalOption it looks like the
ThreadIdentity is not being passed on...

TRACEDETAIL=E tracing shows WebSphere security code extracting a
UTOKEN which represents the identity running on the thread.
Security gives this UTOKEN to the J2C component which passes it
to IMS CONNECT. The UTOKEN is all binary zeros, as this trace
entry shows:

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V7.0 for WebSphere Z/OS              *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When using code path requiring a        *
*                      populated UTOKEN, Websphere was         *
*                      failing.                                *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When migrating code from an earlier WebSphere version, logic
to properly handle UTOKENS was left out of native Z/OS
security code. This caused UTOKENs to contain only their
initial value of all zero's. This caused any code in native
z/OS requiring a populated UTOKEN to fail.

Problem conclusion

Solution was to put UTOKEN handling back into service stream.

APAR PM33471 is currently targeted for inclusion in
Service Level (Fix Pack) 7.1.0.19 of WebSphere
Application Server 7.0, and is currently targeted for
inclusion in Service Level (Fix Pack) 8.0.0.1 of WebSphere
Application Server 8.0.
