APAR PQ91258 addresses the following defect in WebSphere
Application Server V5.0 for z/OS:

(MD19878) In the Administrative Console, on the SSL
Configuration Repertoire detail page for an SSSL repertoire
(Security > SSL > New SSSL Repertoire - or choose an existing
one), the description for the Client Authentication field is
not correct:

"Client authentication is supported by the CSIv2 authentication
protocol only."

(MD20179) Unresolved local transactions initiated with RRS based
resource managers and connectors may be committed even though
the unresolved action was rollback. This event may occur
because at the end of each local transaction containment,
WebSphere did not check for unresolved local mode interests in
the RRS unit of recovery.

(MD20217) JVM options - in xml files - without equal signs ("=")
and containing variable references, e.g., ${A_Variable}, are not
properly resolved when the options are written to the
servant.jvm.options and control.jvm.options files.  For example,
the following JVM option:
  -Xbootclasspath/a:${A_Variable}/lib/jiti.jar
will appear in the servant.jvm.options file just as it is above,
without a substitution for ${A_Variable}.

(MD20251) A missing #pragma pack(reset) caused alignment words
within the ActivityRegistry object definition (bbooactr.cpp) to
not be included in the objects size calculation.  As a result a
smaller than needed storage area was obtained from the heap.
When the ActivityRegistry implementation stored into the last
few words of its object storage, the heap was damaged.

(MD20252) Error messages are needed in the generated helper
classes of WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration
Edition. Currently, if invalid values are set into the fields of
the helper class, a validation exception is being thrown with no
error message.
Problem conclusion
APAR PQ91258 fixes the following defect in WebSphere Application
Server V5.0 for z/OS.

(MD19878) In the Administrative Console, on the SSL
Configuration Repertoire detail page for an SSSL repertoire
(Security > SSL > New SSSL Repertoire - or choose an existing
one), the description for the Client Authentication field has
been corrected to:

"Enables client authentication to occur if this repertoire is
selected for HTTPS. This value is ignored in other cases."

(MD20179) Code was added to check for unresolved local mode
interests in the RRS unit of recovery.  When found, WebSphere
now assigns the appropriate outcome based on the unresolved
action deployment descriptor.

(MD20217) JVM options containing variable references and without
equal signs ("=") are now properly resolved.

(MD20251) Code was modified to correct alignment issues in the
ActivityRegistry object.

(MD20252) The WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration
Edition runtime library has been updated to include messages for
the validation exceptions.

APAR PQ91258 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W502013 of
WebSphere Application Server V5.0 for z/OS.
