Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  Users of IBM HTTP Server (powered by        *
*                  Apache) on z/OS with 'SAFRunAs              *
*                  %%CERTIF_REQ%%' configured                  *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: There are no entries in the error log   *
*                      for 'SAFRunAs %%CERTIF_REQ%%'           *
*                      failures.                               *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:  Apply this fix if using 'SAFRunAs           *
*                  %%CERTIF_REQ%%'                             *
****************************************************************
There should have been an error log entry for failures with
'SAFRunAs %%CERTIF_REQ%%', but there was not.

Problem conclusion

An error log entry was added for when a user is rejected with
a 403 under 'SAFRunAs %%CERTIF_REQ%%'.
The severity of existing messages was also increased for this
same configuration when certificate mapping failures trigger a
403 response.

This fix is targeted for IBM HTTP Server updates:
 - 7.0.0.41
 - 8.0.0.13
 - 8.5.5.9
 - 9.0.0.0-PI54808

Temporary fix
