EDIT: I just posted this in the ACS group that I just found, so please reply there if you have any suggestions. Thanks...

I recently installed the latest version of ACS and the only option for password prompting that works is "Prompt for user name and password every time". The other options give me the "MSGGEN005 - Internal error. (java.lang.NullPointerException)" message. 

I'm running on Windows 11 Enterprise 24H2. Oracle java 1.8.0_111. I have seen issues online with 24H2, and that issue is with using shared credentials..

When I use prompt every time, I get 2 login screens where I have to put in my password. The second time it pops up my user id is filled in with all upper case. After I enter my password for the second time, I get the IBM i 5250 login screen, so in effect I have to log in 3 times to get into my system. 

Has anyone else come across this? And does anyone know of a solution?

  1. Can I stop the MSGGEN005 error?
  2. Can I stop getting 2 login screens?

Thanks,
