The reason for this error is LDX load library was not added to the APF list.

In the Identity Manager, RACF Driver documentation in section 2.4.1 it tells you how to do it and verify the load library is authorized.

Step 3 the section 2.4.1 it states:
Add the LDX load library to the APF list.
Use the PARMLIB IEAAPF xx or PROG xx member as appropriate. If you use the dynamic
APF facility, you can use the SET PROG command to activate your changes. Otherwise, you
must IPL for the change to take effect.

Step 4 states:
Verify that the load library is APF authorized by entering the following:
D PROG,APF,DSNAME=LDX.LOAD
This should return a listing that includes the load library.
