TSS R14->R15 upgrade problem

Message

INFO LogHandler: ThreadSecurity error: rc=1 
ERROR RseDaemon: getServerPort(): result=-1;PassTicket Generation Error

Explanation

A customer using 31-bit Developer for z/OS® Version 7.6.2.1 host got this error after upgrading TSS from Release 14 to Release 15.

The ThreadSecurity error: rc=1 indicates that our pthread_security_np() call failed with return code EACCES, which means “Permission is denied; the specified password is incorrect.” This indicates things fail in the usage of the generated PassTicket, not the generation itself.

The SIGNMULTI flag (which is the TSS equivalent of the NO REPLAY PROTECTION used by RACF®) was good:

TSS ADD(NDT) PSTKAPPL(FEKAPPL) SESSKEY(KEY16 ) SIGNMULTI

CA TSS support indicated that a PTF will be supplied.

Additional information

None.
