ACF2 ACF2 - DB2 Option ACF2 for zVM ACF2 - z/OS ACF2 - MISC

Issue/Introduction

In the example below, under a RACF-secured system, an FTP user is failed for authorization to IRR.DIGTCERT.LISTRING in the FACILITY class and receives the accompanying ICH408I message.

However, under an ACF2-secured system, trying the same access, the same FTP user is failed for authorization but does not receive the expected ACF04056 ACCESS TO RESOURCE NOT AUTHORIZED message.

A SECTRACE shows that the RACROUTE was issued with the MSGSUPP=YES option:

Environment

Release : 16.0

Component : CA ACF2 for z/OS

Cause

Some software, both IBM and ISV (independent software vendor), provides parameters to override the suppression. For example:

- The SECURITY=YES|NO parm of the JES2 $TDEBUG command controls the message suppress parm on RACROUTE calls issued by JES2.

- CA JOBTRAC has a parm MSGSUPP=YES|NO that changes the RACROUTE call. 

Resolution

ACF2 is working as designed.
