Noticed a cacerts glitch first time I went to use Access Client Solutions 1.1.9.15 on MacOS

As an extension to what Jack saw earlier this month.

I just got the same error on MacOS with cacerts access when starting a 5250 session using ACS V1.1.9.15.

The following command lines fixed it for my MacOS user:

sudo chmod 600 ~/IBM/iAccessClient/Private/richard/cacerts

sudo chmod 700 ~/IBM/iAccessClient/Private/richard

Substitute your own paths to the cacerts file and directory.

It could be that since I just copied acsbundle.jar that I missed something the installer does for us usually.

Just in case you see this issue on MacOS.

It didn't like that my directory ~/IBM/iAccessClient/Private/jwoehr was
group-writable

It didn't like that the file ~/IBM/iAccessClient/Private/jwoehr/cacerts
was group-readable

When I fixed the permissions, it was ready to connect to the host.

iACS 1.1.9.14 is more fussy than previous editions, or

iACS 1.1.9.14 recreated the directories with the wrong permissions

Shrug. In any case, there it is, in case anyone gets the ugly
refuse-to-connect message.
