Issue/Introduction

After logging into the MTC-DBM UI and selecting the TS option (or any option) the error 'PXMD999E USER AUTHENTICATION has Failed' occurs. 

Review of the PXMDS job output shows:  The generation of the PassTicket Failed

Environment

Release : 20.0

Component : CA Detector for DB2 for z/OS

Cause

Missing RACF permissions for XNET APPL PassTicket setup

Resolution

The following RACF commands provided Pass Ticket generation for the ESM STC ID and for the individual userIDs  using the MTC-UI:

SETROPTS CLASSACT(APPL)                      
SETROPTS GENERIC(PTKTDATA)                   
SETROPTS CLASSACT(PTKTDATA) RACLIST(PTKTDATA)

PERMIT IRRPTAUTH.applid.* CLASS(PTKTDATA) ID(CAESM) ACCESS(READ,UPDATE)

RDEFINE PTKTDATA IRRPTAUTH.applid OWNER(CAUSR) UACC(NONE)                                                                 
PERMIT IRRPTAUTH applid ID(xxxx) CLASS(PTKTDATA) ACCESS(UPDATE)              
                                              
SETROPTS RACLIST(PTKTDATA) REFRESH             

Note:

The commands applying to the individual user can be defined for a group in the event they don't want to deal with individual access getting addressed for each id every time.
