Error description
When validating the userid container, basic path procedures are used instead of the sts path procedures. This results in the userid container being filled with bad data.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CICS attempts to obtain an * * exceptionally large DFHWS-USERID * * container when WS-Trust is being * * used. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The WS-Trust client is being used and CICS attempts to set up the DFHWS-USERID container. The length of the userid is not initialised, so the amount of storage getmained for this container is random and usually excessively large.
Problem conclusion
DFHPITC has been changed so that it correctly initialises the length of the USERID before attempting to set up the DFHWS-USERID container.
