Logon fails with RACF Internal Errors

 

Message

INFO LogHandler: ThreadSecurity error: rc=5

ERROR RseDaemon: getServerPort(): result=-1;RACF Internal Errors (FEKAPPL)

Explanation

  1. pthread_security_np() returns EMVSSAF2ERR (=5). ACF/2 detailed trace shows RC 8/8/4 on initACEE (Parameter list error occurred).

    The following fix resolves the ACF2 error:

    • CA ACF2 PTF RO15030
  2. Due to an error in CA Top Secret, a _check_resource_auth_np() against the APPL class will fail with EMVSSAF2ERR if TSS defaults are used. As a result, the client fails with “RACF® Internal Errors”.

    The following fix resolves the TSS error:

    • CA TSS APAR SIT8704
