  The automatic RACF signon has already been implemented to IMS
  V13 with ETOS APAR PI71728. This APAR adds it to IMS V14 and
  later. In addition, this APAR adds functionality to IMS V13
  provided in PI71728.
  

Problem conclusion

• This fix provides an additional option to the ETOS auto-logon
  signon process for SLU2/3270 devices.
  
  The new logon option (5. RACF USERID) allows for the automatic
  creation of a valid IMS RACF environment for the 3270/SLU2 node
  logging on. The RACF environment is used by IMS for RACF
  authorization checking. The option makes use of a customer
  specified userid and is passed by ETOS to IMS/RACF during
  automatic signon. The option is available only for 3270/SLU2
  devices and may be specified to ETOS via ETOS batch utility
  and/or ETOS IMS transaction IZTRAN.
  
  Additional considerations:
  If users are enabled to signon to IMS multiple times (from
  multiple terminals) with the same userid, it is best practice to
  use ETOS logon and naming options that do not create naming
  collision errors. For example, when using USERID or RACF USERID
  for the logon process, do not use IMS DEFAULT as the LTERM/USER
  NAMING OPTION. Instead, use NODE=LTERM=USER as the LTERM/USER
  NAMING OPTION.
  
  In IMS V13, this fix can use the automatic RACF signon with the
  LUNAME BEFORE USERID of the table search sequence option.
