Error description

• After the introduction of oauth20 support into WebSphere 8.0
  customer is receiving consistent RACF failures during servant
  initialisation as the servant userid attempts to create and
  delete the oauth20 directory:
  ICH408I USER(KTSYSI3B) GROUP(@YSI3B0 ) NAME(WAS AS T1A02 I3B0)
  /var/KTS/T1A02/AppServer/profiles/default/config/cells/zosCET1A0
  2/oauth20.
  CL(DIRACC  ) FID(C3C8C6F0F0F439530000000006891A85)
  INSUFFICIENT AUTHORITY TO MKDIR
  ACCESS INTENT(-W-)  ACCESS ALLOWED(GROUP ACL  R-X)
  EFFECTIVE UID(0000004706)  EFFECTIVE GID(0000005206)
  .
  Customer does not allow the userid to write to the root of the
  WebSphere cell directory, so need a mechanism to re-direct
  the location of this directory.

  ****************************************************************
  The OAuth Trust Association Interceptor (TAI) startup
  processing requires write access to the
  (user.install.root)/config/cells/(cellName) directory.  In
  that directory, it creates a directory called oauth20.  Errors
  will appear in the log if the startup process is unable to
  access this directory.  If an application server is not
  configured to use the OAuth TAI, this should not be an error.
  

Problem conclusion

• The OAuth TAI startup process is run whether the OAuth TAI is
  configured or not.  The OAuth TAI startup process does not
  need to run if either the OAuth TAI is not configured or TAI
  processing is not enabled.
  
  The OAuth TAI is updated so that its startup process will only
  run if TAI processing is enabled and the OAuth TAI is
  configured.
  
  APAR PI46156 is currently targeted for inclusion in WebSphere
  Application Server Fix Packs 8.0.0.13, and 8.5.5.10.
  
  In addition, sysroute APAR PI60762 will deliver the fix in
  WebSphere Application Server V7.0 Fix Pack 7.0.0.43.
