Issue/Introduction

After applying the ACF2 maintenance, the following error was observed by some jobs:

 ACF01007 A PASSWORD IS REQUIRED FOR LOGONID USER01

Environment

Release : 16.0

Component : ACF2 for z/OS

Cause

The PTF LU02479, which is currently in PE status, is causing surrogate problems.

Resolution

The PTF LU05160 corrects the surrogate problem caused by the PE'd PTF LU02479. Here is the PTF description:

JES security has a SURROGATE check to see if a user is allowed to submit a job and have it run under another user's logonid without having to know that users password. After applying LU02479, the SAF RACROUTE AUTH calls to validate if the submitter is a surrogate will fail with an ACF01007 (or ACF01125) message.
