APAR PQ73587 addresses the following problems in WebSphere
Application Server V5.0 for z/OS:

(MD15506.01) The offset of the branch qualifier in a XID is
incorrectly calculated.  This error causes assertion failures
when looking for the transaction branch in the active
transaction tables. The symptoms of this failure are message
BBOO0021E and the termination of the control region with a
C9C20008 minor code.

(MD16593) Using default identities in the install dialogs does
not result in a valid id for the Daemon. was.env is not getting
updated with security attributes from the Daemon, so a change
to default identities in the install dialogs does not result in
a valid id for the Daemon.

(MD16659) Users are unable to access admin console if security
is enabled and SAF was selected as the authorization mechanism.
The user gets an error accessing the admin console if Global
Security is enabled, and SAF is selected as the Authorization
mechanism (by setting to 1 the value for
com_ibm_security_SAF_authorization). After being prompted for a
Userid and Password, the user gets the following message from
the console:
     Unable to process Login. Please check userid and password
     and try again.

(MD16698)If a customer specifies ORBRas=all=enabled, the
resulting trace records are not written out to Websphere trace
logfiles.

(MD16841) After stopping an application and then restarting it,
entity bean ids are not cleared out of the cache, resulting in
cache hits for stale bean ids.  The errors show up as
FaultExceptions stemming from HomeDisabledExceptions:

Problem conclusion
APAR PQ73587 provides the following problem resolution:

(MD15506.01) Support has been modified such that the branch
qualifier offset calculation has been corrected.

(MD16593) The Daemon does not need an identity, so support has
been modified to bypass the code that obtains the local and
remote identities.

(MD16659) Support was added to obtain a valid z/OS identity.

(MD16698) Support has been modified to direct trace records to
WebSphere trace logfiles if ORBRas=all=enabled is specified.

(MD16841) Support has been modified such that on application
stop, the BeanIdCache is now cleared therefore removing stale
BeanIds.

APAR PQ73587 requires a change to be made to the WebSphere
Application Server Version 5 InfoCenter. To access the latest
online documentation, go to the product library page at:

www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/zos_os390/library.html

The change is to the first paragraph in the z/OS usec_rltpa file
(view this administrative console page by clicking Security >
Authentication Mechanisms > LTPA), which now reads:

If you are configuring security for the first time only the
password is required. Once the password is entered click
Apply. Click Single Sign On (SSO) and enter the domain name.
Make sure that SSO is enabled. Click Apply. In the Global
Security panel, click Custom Properties. A list of security
properties will show up in your screen. Click Next to move to
the next properties page. Click the
control_region_security_enable_trusted_applications property.
On the new window change the Value field from false to
true, and click Apply. To complete the security setup ensure
that the appropriate registry is setup and click Apply from the
Global Security panel. When security is enabled and any of these
properties change, go to the Global Security panel and click
Apply to validate the changes.

APAR PQ73587 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W500004 of
WebSphere Application Server V5.0 for z/OS.
