9924E

9924E case IN VDF HAS BEEN DISABLED - REASON: reason [(RC: rc)]

9924E case IN VDF COULD BE INVALID - REASON: reason [(RC: rc)]

Written to:

Operator console.

Explanation:

This message is output by VDF upon first detection that passphrase support (or security in general) cannot be ensured (see case). reason shows why passphrase support or security cannot be ensured. rc is the RC returned by the UXSIN exit. RC=355 indicates invalid use of the UXSIN exit.

case can be one of the following:

PASSPHRASE SUPPORT	Passphrases are rejected or cannot be checked
SECURITY	Neither passphrases nor passwords can be checked or invalid use of the UXSIN exit (default name: BST09XIN)

reason can be one of the following:

EXIT IS INVALID TYPE	UXSIN exit does not fulfill the required Beta-specific connection requirements (e.g. IEFBR14)
EXIT ADDRESS MISSING	UXSIN exit address could not be found
EXIT RETURNS INVALID PARAMETERS	UXSIN exit returned invalid manipulated parameters
EXIT NEEDS READ ON STC SECURITY PROFILE	UXSIN exit returned RC=4, but the STC user does not have READ access to the RACF profile BETA.ssid. SECURE. UXSINCONTROL. ALLOW in the FACILITY class
EXIT NEEDS ALTER ON STC SECURITY PROFILE	UXSIN exit returned RC=4, the logon user ID does not exist, but the STC user does not have ALTER access to the RACF profile BETA.ssid. SECURE. UXSINCONTROL. ALLOW in the FACILITY class
EXIT MISSING	No security exit (UXSIN) has been specified in B09SSIxx.
EXIT HAS NO FUNCTION	The security exit specified in B09SSIxx has no function (IEFBR14).
SKIPPED VIA OLD EXIT	An old security exit is active, which does not support passphrases. The exit has returned RC=4 (Ignore RACF check).
DENIED BY OLD EXIT	An old security exit is active, which does not support passphrases. The exit has returned RC=8 (Deny request).
REJECTED BY EXIT	Passphrase support is not activated because the active security exit has returned RC=12 (DENY PASSPHRASE).
DENIED BY EXIT	Passphrase support is not activated because the active security exit has rejected the specified passphrase with RC=8.
INVALID EXIT VERSION	An old security exit is active, which does not support passphrases.

System Action:

If case = SECURITY, the logon user is checked or not checked depending on the installed security environment for secure logon and the STC user's access to the related RACF profiles.

If case = PASSPHRASE SUPPORT, there is no support of passphrases. Passwords can be used if this is allowed by RACF.

Operator Response:

You can use the MODIFY command F stcname,ST to check the version of the active security initialization/termination exit (BST09XIN).

If reason indicates a missing or non-functional exit and this is not what you want, specify a valid exit in B09SSIxx and reinitialize the security environment.

If reason indicates an old exit, provide a current exit that includes passphrase support and reinitialize the security environment.

If reason is REJECTED/DENIED BY [OLD] EXIT, provide an exit that includes passphrase support and reinitialize the security environment. Alternatively, set B09_PASSPHRASE_SUPPORT to NO to disable passphrase support.
