This is the public portal for all IBM Z Hardware and Operating System related offerings. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.
Welcome to the IBM Ideas Portal (https://www.ibm.com/ideas) - Use this site to find out additional information and details about the IBM Ideas process and statuses.
IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com) - Use this site to view all of your ideas, create new ideas for any IBM product, or search for ideas across all of IBM.

Testing conditional access such as: WHEN(CRITERIA(SERVICE(service name))), found that when a user attempts to access the key and does not have the conditional access permitted to a certain service, the normal ICH408I msg is displayed, but there is not mention of the service that is attempting to be accessed.
For example:
Running ICSF WD#18, HCR77D0 on z/OS V2R3. Testing EPIC 196549 –SAF Conditional Access.
We setup the following:
RDEF CSFKEYS &CSFSYS.GEOFFREYJAESCLEARKEY2018 OWNER(CSFADM) UACC(NONE)
SETROPTS RACLIST(CSFKEYS) REFRESH
RDEFINE XFACILIT CSF.CSFKEYS.CONDITIONAL.ACCESS.CONTROL
SETR RACLIST(XFACILIT) REFRESH
PERMIT &CSFSYS.GEOFFREYJAESCLEARKEY2018 CLASS(CSFKEYS) ID(DBXGSYS) ACCESS(READ) WHEN(CRITERIA(SERVICE(CSFBRCK)))
We then attempted to use a different ICSF service, other than CSFBRCK. When we did this, we received msg:
ICH408I USER(DBXGSYS ) GROUP(SYS1 ) NAME(JOHN)
Z1.GEOFFREYJAESCLEARKEY2018 CL(CSFKEYS )
INSUFFICIENT ACCESS AUTHORITY
FROM &CSFSYS.GEOFFREYJAESCLEARKEY2018 (G)
ACCESS INTENT(READ ) ACCESS ALLOWED(NONE )
There is no indication of the service that is attempting to be accessed. I expected to see the service in a message (ICH408I?) which I normally would if attempting to access a service not involved in SAF Conditional access (in that case it would be an ICH408I msg w/ CL(CSFSERV) displayed).
Note that in emailing w/ Mark Nelson, he indicated the following:
Conditional access list entries such as WHEN(PROGRAM(....)) or WHEN(CRITERIA(....)) can never deny access, they can only allow access. That's why the conditional access information doesn't appear in the ICH408I message.
Writing up this requirement to have conditional access information displayed in the ICH408I msg. For example:
ICH408I USER(DBXGSYS ) GROUP(SYS1 ) NAME(JOHN)
Z1.GEOFFREYJAESCLEARKEY2018 CL(CSFKEYS )
INSUFFICIENT ACCESS AUTHORITY
FROM &CSFSYS.GEOFFREYJAESCLEARKEY2018 (G)
CRITERIA(SERVICE=CSFKRR)
ACCESS INTENT(READ ) ACCESS ALLOWED(NONE )

Thanks for the additional information. This requirement is accepted as an uncommitted candidate.
We have reviewed your requirement and have a follow-up question. If the service name appeared in the SMF audit record, would that be sufficient?
