Error description
When specifying the CICS SIT parameter RACFSYNC=YES,all cached user tokens for the user ID should be invalidated. This invalidation is not done if the user token was created by an ADD_USER_VIA_ICRX request for a distributed identity.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users using distributed identities. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A cached user token representing a user * * defined using ICRX is not invalidated * * when an ENF event is generated for the * * userid by an explicit REVOKE of that * * userid or CONNECT/REMOVE the userid * * from a RACF group. * **************************************************************** In the reported problem, the user had RACFSYNC=YES coded as a SIT parameter. The effect of this is that when CICS receives an ENF type 71 event from RACF (when a CONNECT, REMOVE or REVOKE command changes a users resource authorisation) the associated cached user token is invalidated. This does not currently work if the user/ID was defined via an ICRX. DFHUSAD places ID user token entries into USD1, USD2, USD3 and USD4 but only scans USD1 as part of the token invalidation process. The ICRX entries did not have a USD1 entry.
Problem conclusion
DFHUSAD has been amended to correctly invalidate cached user tokens where the ID was added via ICRX and when an ENF event is received due to when RACFSYNC=YES is specified.
