Component: TSSMVS

Resolution

The MFA STC job log message, JVMJZBL2008E Could not find or load class: com.ca.security.mfa.main.Main, can indicate:

1) A bad MFA_HOME in the STDENV parms.

Check MFA STC joblog
example
IEF403I MAA2R75 - STARTED - TIME=09.24.19
MFA00100 MFA Initialization in progress
MFA00521 JVMNAME IS: JVMLDMnn
IEF404I MAA2R75 - ENDED - TIME=09.24.33
$HASP395 MAA2R75  ENDED - RC=0100

IEF142I MAA2R75 MAA2R75 - STEP WAS EXECUTED - COND CODE 0100

2) The permission bits on the mfav1.jar may be incorrect. Go into the MFA_HOME directory and issue:

   ls -E

to check this. The permission bits on the mfav1.jar file should be 755.
