    ****************************************************************
    An EXEC CICS SIGNON with OIDCARD and no PASSWORD is being
    issued. It is processed in DFHUSAD including validating the
    password and adding the user to the user domain. DFHUSAD
    doesn't check whether a password has actually been supplied
    before trying to validate it. The password validation process
    is failed as no password is provided. It correspondingly causes
    the SIGNON request to fail with NOTAUTH response.
    

Problem conclusion

  • UI24130  UI24127  UI25263  UI22616  UI25262  UI22618
    DFHUSAD has been changed to make sure the SIGNON with OIDCARD
    and no PASSWORD can be correctly processed.
