Local fix

  • 



Problem summary


    

  • A change was introduced via APAR IV68824, such that, the jvm was
checking whether the current context has the
createAccessControlContext permission, even when a security
manager was not active.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • The jvm has been modified to treat AccessControlContexts that
are created when a security manager is not enabled as trusted.
