User ID of parameter AUTHORIZED_USER is not found

Edit online

When you run the defracf.cmd script, the existing user ID that is specified for the parameter AUTHORIZED_USER is not found.

Symptom

The existing user ID that is specified for the parameter AUTHORIZED_USER is not found when you run the defracf.cmd script.

Cause

This issue happens on systems where zSecure Command Verifier modifies the standard output of RACF®'s LISTUSER command. In this instance, the defracf.cmd script is not able to find an existing ID as configured.

Solution

  1. Open the /var/cdp-uiconfig/cdpui.properties file.
  2. Find the parameter AUTHORIZED_USER and delete the user ID to the right of the equal sign.
  3. Rerun the defracf.cmd script and specify GO at the last prompt to run the RACF commands.
  4. Manually run the following command:
    CONNECT user_id GROUP(group_id)
    Change user_id to the user ID that the defracf.cmd script could not find. Change group_id to the RACF group that is assigned to the AUTHORIZED_GROUP. This command allows the user that is specified on the connect command to access and use the configuration tool.
