    ****************************************************************
    The embedded CICS TS Liberty JVM server requires an upgrade of
    WebSphere Liberty to version 25.0.0.6.
    

Problem conclusion

  • CICS TS has been updated to use a Liberty JVM server that is
    based on WebSphere Liberty version 25.0.0.6.
    
    IBM is required to provide you with certain notices and other
    information regarding third party components, included by this
    APAR and obtained as part of IBM WebSphere Liberty 25.0.0.6.
    
    This information is available at:
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7247838
    
    Note, CICS 6.3 became generally available with Liberty 25.0.0.6.
    At 6.3 this APAR refreshes Liberty to include the fix for
    https://github.com/OpenLiberty/open-liberty/issues/32394
    
    When enabling a new Liberty JVM server with feature
    cicsts:security-1.0 and no ltpa.keys file, you may now see a
    CWWKS0005E in messages.log reporting "No available UserRegistry
    service" and FFDCs are captured. In the FFDCs you will see:
    "com.ibm.websphere.security.WSSecurityException:
    getActiveUserRegistry failed due to an internal error:
    CWWKS0005E: A configuration exception has occurred. No available
    UserRegistry service." and
    "com.ibm.websphere.security.WSSecurityException: getUserRegistry
    for realm null failed due to an internal error:
    getActiveUserRegistry failed due to an internal error:
    CWWKS0005E: A configuration exception has occurred. No available
    UserRegistry service."
    This has no known impact on functionality and the ltpa.keys file
    will be created by Liberty. This issue is being actively worked
    on by the CICS and Liberty Development teams.
