Error description
IBM z/OS Debugger v14.2 When using the Debug Profile Service API to manipulate debug profiles, the user must provide an existing userid and password to connect to the host system. Currently, the password is capitalized when the debug profile request is passed to the host, so if the password contains mixed case characters, this might cause invalid password messages IRR013I or ICH408I to be displayed on the host, preventing the user login. The Debug Profile Service will be updated to keep the case of the password when passing the request.
Local fix
