PM22483: WCT/ZPMT REJECTS UNDERSCORE CHARACTER IN RACF CERTIFICATE DEFINITIONS.

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

When WCT/zPMT is used to build and customize the WebSphere
configuration, the zPMT process for the SSL Customization
panel blocks and issues a warning message for the name value
containing a underscore char for "Certificate authority
keylabel" field. Since zPMT process attempts to ensure that the
input values entered for RACF definitions only contain
characters that are acceptable to RACF, the underscore char
should be a valid char in the zPMT validation because it is
valid in RACF certificate definitions.
