Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server    *
*                 version 4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390            *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When running the Web Server with        *
*                      %%CLIENT and using the WebSphere HTTP   *
*                      Plug-in for z/OS, and a change is made  *
*                      to the plugin configuration file, the   *
*                      plugin fails to read the updated        *
*                      configuration file because the userid   *
*                      on the thread on which the update is    *
*                      attempted does not have the necessary   *
*                      file system permissions.                *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The WebSphere HTTP Plug-in for z/OS is capable of dynamically
picking up updates to its configuration file. It initiates
initiates this process on whichever worker thread is dispatched
when the file system update is detected by the plugin. The
userid under which this thread is running must have the correct
file system permissions or the plugin configuration update will
fail.
If the IBM Http Server is configured to run with %%CLIENT%% then
without the PTF for this APAR applied each client userid would
have to be granted the necessary file system permissions.
Problem conclusion
The WebSphere HTTP Plug-in for z/OS configuration update routine
has been changed to switch the identity of the thread on which
the update is running to be that of the process (address space).
Once the update is complete, the thread identity is switched
back to that which it had before entering the configuration
update routine.

APAR PQ74499 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W401508 of
