Environment

z/OS 

HCA 1.1.05 

Cause

List of authorized user IDs has been coded in an incorrect format in app.yml

Resolution

Enter the authorized user IDs in the below format in the app.yml file: 

custRuleAuthorizers: U111111,U222222

This is documented as comment in the app.yml file as follows : 

# Add user IDs with a space after "custRuleAuthorizers:" and comma-separated (Example, custRuleAuthorizers: userid1,userid2)

Additional Information

The app.yml is utf-8 only, but the starthc.sh file should be in EBCDIC format.
