z/OS Security Server RACF Messages and Codes

IRRC141I
THE [PASSWORD | PASS PHRASE] ENVELOPING FUNCTION CANNOT BE PERFORMED FOR USER user1. A PROPER UNIX SYSTEM SERVICES ENVIRONMENT DOES NOT EXIST FOR THE RACF SUBSYSTEM RUNNING UNDER USER ID user2.

Explanation

RACF® attempted to build a PKCS #7 password or password phrase envelope for user ID user1, but was unsuccessful because the RACF subsystem is not running as a UNIX process. The most likely cause of this failure is one of the following causes:
  1. The subsystem address space identity (identified in the message as user2) does not have an OMVS segment. In this case, message IRRB023I should have been issued during subsystem initialization.
  2. An enveloping function was activated (by defining the PASSWORD.ENVELOPE or PASSPHRASE.ENVELOPE resource in the RACFEVNT class, and activating the class), but the RACF subsystem address space was not stopped and restarted.

System action

The enveloping function was not performed. The system continues processing.

RACF Security Administrator Response

In the case of number 1 above, define the RACF subsystem user ID as a z/OS® UNIX user by defining an OMVS segment for its USER profile, and for its default group profile. See for more details about defining UNIX users. The RACF subsystem address space must be stopped and restarted after the OMVS information is defined.

In the case of number 2 above, stop and restart the RACF subsystem address space. RACF recognizes that password or password phrase enveloping is configured, and starts the proper UNIX services to dub itself as a UNIX process.

To avoid interruptions in services that are provided by the address space, it should be restarted during a period of low activity. See z/OS Security Server RACF System Programmer's Guide for information about the RACF subsystem.
