  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • After upgrading to CICS TS 5.5, the server.xml file is getting
    rebuilt by CICS and the configuration now does not allow the
    user to update or change the safCredentials element
    unauthenticatedUser parameter.
    .
    For safCredentials configuration, if the following option is
    not specified in the JVM profile:
    .
      com.ibm.cics.jvmserver.wlp.saf.profilePrefix
    .
    CICS will always replace safCredentials in the server.xml.  In
    this case, the user cannot update the unauthenticatedUser in
    the safCredentials attribute.
    .
    .

    A CMCI Liberty server is starting up in a WUI region, CICS
    always replaces safCredentials element in the server.xml. That
    means the customer can not update the unauthenticatedUser
    attribute in the safCredentials.
    

Problem conclusion

    unauthenticatedUser attribute in the safCredentials.
