The access control check for services, keys or cryptoz resources should be postponed until after the security product has initialized.

We've changed our ICSF startup to an 'early startup' by setting system parameters ICSFPROC=ICSF and ICSF=xx. We're now noticing the following messages during startup that weren't there before :

CSFM012I NO ACCESS CONTROL AVAILABLE FOR CRYPTOZ RESOURCES. ICSF PKCS11 SERVICES DISABLED.
CSFM009I NO ACCESS CONTROL AVAILABLE FOR ICSF SERVICES OR KEYS

But when checking afterwards, we've found that we still had the CSFKEYS class active (we didn't check CRYPTOZ or the csfservices security but I suppose the finding would be similar).

I guess the messages were issued due to the security product (ACF2 in our case) starting up and not fully initialized yet. So the messages might be true at the moment itself but eventually the access control seems to get established. There are no messages issued in that case. The current situation is misleading and makes us wonder if we have a security issue or not.

Our wish is that the access control check for services, keys or cryptoz resources will be postponed until after the security product has initialized.

    Valid requirement. We will add this to our product backlog. Thank you!
