Issue/Introduction

How to resolve a SON07 NO ACCESS Facility user message when using a Segmented signon key.

Segmented signon keys are keys that are greater than 8 characters in length and contain a period ('.'). For example, roscoe.control is a segmented userid.

 

Environment

Roscoe® Interactive Environment

Cause

Special handling required for segmented keys

Resolution

1. Apply special APAR GS76262. This will need to be reapplied every time you upgrade Roscoe.
   
   
2. Make sure ACFEXT=YES is in the Roscoe startup parms. This specifies use external security for signon. Your security package will control the signon.
   
   
3. Remove the ACFEXIT from the Roscoe loadlib by removing or renaming.
   
   
4. Recycle Roscoe
   
   
5. After applying this apar
   
   
   1. If the signon key is greater than 8 characters, the first 8 characters are used for the userid.
      
      
   2. If a period ('.') is found within the first 8 characters of the signon key, the next 8 characters after the period will be used as the userid.
   
   
   For example, if the userid is roscoe.control, control will be used as the userid for the Racinit call.
   
   

NOTE: Make sure security definitions are in place for these userids.
