Error description

  • In this scenario the userid attempting to login to RDZ server
    from RDZ
    client did not have access to the FEKAPPL RACF class. However
    the error
    message provided to the client was misleading.
    
    If the authentication is by userid and password, the message
    indicates that the
    password is revoked.
    
    If the authentication is by certificate, the message indicates
    that the certificate is revoked.
    
    Example message when authentication is by userid and password:
    "Failed to connect to the daemon with an unexpected exception:
    server failure: server failure:
    password revoked. Make sure the daemon is running on port xxxx"
    
    
    A proper error message in this case would be:
    "Failed to connect to the daemon with an unexpected exception:
    server failure: User xxxxxx
    has insufficient permission to profile FEKAPPL in the APPL
    class. RACROUTE AUTH
    returned SAF return code 8 - RACF return code =16 RACF reason
    code =8 "

    *                         response said "USERID is revoked"    *

    ****************************************************************
    01.When RDz user does not have RACF access to the APPL class,
       the response said "USERID is revoked" when using a password,
       and "Invalid Certificate" in using a certificate. The error
       message in the client dialog is quite misleading.
    

Problem conclusion

  • 01.Now, the following message will be shown when RDz user does
       not have RACF access to the APPL class: "server failure:
       User, userid has insufficient permission to profile FEKAPPL
       in the APPL class. RACROUTE AUTH returned SAF return code =
       nn - RACF return code = nn RACF reason code = nn"
