Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

WebSphere for z/OS does not send a seclabel field when calling
InitACEE. Therefore, WebSphere is not implementing the SAF
interface correctly and can result in problems for downstream
services which rely on SECLABEL being populated by SAF.

WebSphere for z/OS does not send a seclabel field when calling
InitACEE. Therefore, WebSphere is not implementing the SAF
interface correctly and can result in problems for downstream
services which rely on SECLABEL being populated by SAF.

Problem conclusion

WebSphere for z/OS has been modified to properly implement the
SAF interface correctly to not send a seclabel on an InitACEE
call.
