The TXSeries Program Temporary Fix (PTF) is a collection of cumulative product patches and recent software fixes. For TXSeries, separate PTFs exist for CICS and Encina(R). Installing this PTF updates TXSeries to version 5.0.0.4. This README file lists the defects fixed in the TXSeries CICS 5.0.0.4 PTF for the AIX, Windows, HP-UX and Solaris operating systems. This README also provides some important notes about TXSeries on the AIX, Solaris, HP-UX and Windows systems.
Note: For information about obtaining and installing the TXSeries CICS 5.0.0.4, see the READPTF_<lang>.htm file for the PTF.

The following are important notes about TXSeries CICS 5.0 on the AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, and Windows systems.
The exit is also called if there is not a UserDefinition stanza entry for the user trying to log in. The exit is called after a successful password validation, and allows the exit to specify a model UserId in the stanza to copy settings such as TSL and RSL keys. This user is then installed into CICS.
The definitions for the user exit are included in cics_esm.h. The first function called is CICS_EAM_Init, which is passed a CICS_EAM_RegionData structure and a CICS_EAM_FnBuf structure. The CICS_EAM_FnBuf structure should be filled in with the addresses of the other necessary functions. If any of these functions are set to null, or the function does not return CICS_EAM_RETURN_OK the region abends.
When a user logs in the function Authenticate is called. This is passed in a CICS_EAM_RegionData structure and a CICS_EAM_Logon structure. This includes the userid and password to be authorised. The three valid return codes are CICS_EAM_RETURN_INVALID, CICS_EAM_PASSWORD_EXPIRED and CICS_EAM_RETURN_OK anything else abends the transaction.
When a user requests to change their password, first the password is authenticated using Authenticate, and if authentication succeeds then ChangePassword is called. This is passed two structures: a CICS_EAM_RegionData and a CICS_EAM_ChangePassword. This contains the userid, the new password, and the old password. The expected return codes are CICS_EAM_RETURN_OK, CICS_EAM_RETURN_INVALID and CICS_EAM_RETURN_FAIL. CICS_EAM_RETURN_FAIL or any unrecgonised return code will abend the transaction. CICS_EAM_RETURN_INVALID can be returned if the new password is not a valid password, for example if it is too short, or does not meet password restrictions.
After a user has been authenticated, and if the user is not already defined to CICS the function UserInstall is called. This is passed two structures: a CICS_EAM_RegionData and a CICS_EAM_NewUser . This will contain the userid that is installed. The member ModelID in CICS_EAM_NewUser needs to be set to an already defined id (maximum 8 characters), which is copied and installed as the new userid.
