Error description

• Abstract: Rational Developer for System z V8.5.x generates
  password violations when using ACF2 if
  _RSE_JAVAOPTS='$_RSE_JAVAOPTS -DAPPLID=FEKAPPL of the
  rsed.envvars is commented out. The password violations will
  occur regardless if the default FEKAPPL ID is used or not.
  
  The SYSLOG may reveal an error message similar to the following:
  STC26662  ACF01200 INVALID PASSWORD/AUTHORITY FOR ID USERID FROM
  HOSTSYSNAME
  
  A  ACF2 SECTRACE may reveal a message like the following:
