* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect identity sent to cics for     *
*                      authentication                          *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
With local-OS registry configured for security and connecting
to CICS, instead of thread identity the server identity may
be passed on to the backend for authentication. The problem
was due to an incorrect J2C security helper being created
during the initialization.

Problem conclusion

WebSphere J2C code has been updated to use correct security
helper class during the initialization.

APAR PM66602 is currently targeted for inclusion in
Fix Packs 6.1.0.45, 8.0.0.5, and V8.5.0.1 of WebSphere
Application Server.

The fix will also be delivered as sysrouted APAR PM71495 in
WebSphere Application Server V7.0 Fix Pack 7.0.0.25 for z/OS.
