Error description
Users are unable to log into z/OSMF and recieve message IZUG410E. In addition, several ICH408I messages may appear on the console for DIRSRCH related to various files in the z/OS UNIX File System. The guest user (IZUGUEST by default) is being used to load files from the file system incorrectly. If the RESTRICTED.FILESYS.ACCESS profile in the UNIXPRIV class is defined, then the guest user will be unable to access these necessary files. This will be fatal to the operation of z/OSMF. In addition, since the IZUGUEST user is RESTRICTED, attempts to access resources protected via UACC will fail. Some of these may not be fatal to the operation of z/OSMF. PE Information: User Affected: All users of z/OS Management Facility who have applied any of the PTF's below. HSMA210: UI37429 UI38721 UI37965 UI36986 HSMA220: UI36316 UI36987 UI37966 UI38722 User Impact: Apars UI36316/HSMA220 and UI37429/HSMA210 introduced new function, but caused a problem in mainline function of z/OSMF. The original APARs added new notification and mobile functions. The other APARs that have since been issued have resolved hangs, corrected errors in displays and resolved performance issues The problem identified by this APAR represents an inability to use z/OSMF at all, when the UNIXPRIV RESTRICTED.FILESYS.ACCESS is defined.
Local fix
If you do not have the offending PTFs installed, do not APPLY them. If you do not have RESTRICTED.FILESYS.ACCESS defined, then this defect should not cause an impact on your system. If your system does have RESTRICTED.FILESYS.ACCESS defined, then a temporary workaround would be to grant IZUGUEST READ access to the RESTRICTED.FILESYS.ACCESS profile. This is IBM's current recommendation, however it should only be used pending a final fix for this issue. If you are unable to make the recommended security changes, then the only other workaround is to RESTORE the offending PTFs.
