Problems with ACL/E for signing on to TSO

Products

• TPX - Session Management
• Vman Session Management for z/OS

Issue/Introduction

A startup ACL defined at  PROFILE level that should fill in Userid and Password on the sign Session screen,seems to fill in only the userid, causing a consequent authorization error.

Environment

Release : 5.4

Component : CA-TPX for OS/390

Cause

For some reason, the startup ACL at USER Session Level field, contains blank characters instead of the default value that is underscoresonly ( ( i.e Startup ACL : ________ ).
This override the value defined at PROFILE LEVEL for the Startup ACL, and was causing the error.

Resolution

The startup ACL at USER Session Level field, when not specified, needs to be filled in with UNDERSCORE characters ( i.e  Startup ACL : ________ )
This will avoid the override of the Profile setting.
