Do z/OS and RACF support mixed case userids.
RACF command processors do not support the creation of mixed-case user
IDs. Technically you could create them using the lower level interface
ICHEINTY. However, it's unlikely that you'd get all the data put into
the profile correctly, and for any future administration you would have
do it yourself, again using ICHEINTY.
If the answer is No, then who is responsible for folding the userid to
upper case? RACF? The RACROUTE caller?
The RACROUTE issuer. Which gives you another problem, because even if
you got the mixed-case ID created the applications would upper-case the
ID and then RACF would not find it.
