  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Client connection authorisation check   *
  *                      fails with RACF message ICH408I USER    *
  *                      NOT RACF-DEFINED because the userid is  *
  *                      passed in lower case.                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  A queue manager can be configured to use a supplied user ID and
  password to check if a connecting client has authority to access
  resources. With AUTHINFO attributes AUTHTYPE(IDPWOS) and
  CHCKCLNT set as OPTIONAL or REQUIRED, and if the security sub
  system in use is RACF, then when a lower case userid is passed
  by the client, application verification fails. The RACF profile
  for the userid cannot be found since userids in RACF must be
  upper case.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code has been added to CSQMCUWT to convert the userid to upper
  case on a client connection, when a new service parameter is
  active. Additionally if RACF is not using mixed case passwords
  the password will also be converted to upper case.
  Contact IBM support for information on how to activate this new
  capability.
