Issue/Introduction



When attempting to insert a root and intermediate certificate getting error message:
ACF00179 INVALID USERID SPECIFIED IN RECORD KEY 

 

Environment

Release:
Component: ACF2MS

Cause

Certificates are stored in the ACF2 INFOSTG database as CERTDATA records. The CERTDATA segment of the USER profile identifies an X.509 digital certificate associated with a user. 

Certificate CERTDATA records are stored based on the "recid" which has the following sytnax:
recid(Logonid|certauth|sitecert|logonid.suffix|certauth.suffix|sitecert.suffix)

The certificate CERTDATA record name(RECID) can be 17 characters in length however the format is logonid.suffix where both logonid and suffix can be up to 8 characters in length

Resolution

The 'ACF00179 INVALID USERID SPECIFIED IN RECORD' is valid for an INSERT of a certificate with a CERTDATA record name in which the logonid is greater than eight characters in length.

For example:

TEST99PRIV.ROOT is not valid
TEST99.PRIVROOT is valid
