User set in CICS Liberty TAI should be accounted in SMF

CICS Liberty Profile uses the user set in the authorization header for SMF accounting.
While the transaction is running we can find in Omegamon for CICS the user which was set by methode
"TAIResult.create(HttpServletResponse.SC_OK, personalizedUser);"

After transaction has ended, we only see the user which was set in the requests authorization header.
But this user is only a technical user, not the user we do need for accounting.

The SMF record should include the user that was set by TAI not the user set in authorization header.

    This RFE is satisfied by Apar PH42306 available on CICS TS 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6.
    For CICS Monitoring data field 089 (USERID) is changed for Liberty such that the user ID value now reflects the final user ID value used in secure Liberty transactions, instead of the initial user ID. Likewise for INQUIRE ASSOCIATION commands, the association data user ID value now reflects the final user ID value used in secure Liberty transactions, instead of the initial user ID.

    This is something we would like to address. The RFE is being moved into 'Planned for Future release' status. Please note:

    We've a similiar problem. In our environment, we use TAI for authentication too, but we don't send a HTTP security header. If that header is missing then CICS uses the user in URIMAP definition or the CICS Default User if no URIMAP user exists as user in the accounting records.
    Because we want to see the real TAI user in SMF records, we're strongly interested in that RFE and vote for it.

    This is a candidate for a future release.
