Refer to the following report produced by the Datadataset Set and Resource Data Collection: - SENSITVE.RPT(ADTRPT). Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the Datadataset Set and Resource Data Collection: - PDI(ZADT0000). Verify that the accesses to the CA Auditor installation datadatasets sets are properly restricted. If the following guidance is true, this is not a finding. ___ The ACF2 datadataset set rules for the datadatasets setsrestrict restricts READ access to auditors, security administrators, and/or CA Auditor's STCs and batch users. ___ The ACF2 datadataset set rules for the datadatasets setsrestrict restrictsWRITE UPDATE and/or ALTERgreater access to systems programming personnel. ___ The ACF2 datadataset set rules for the datadatasets sets specify that all (i.e., failures and successes) UPDATEWRITE and/or ALTERgreater access areis logged.

The ISSO will ensure that updateWRITE and/or allocategreater access to CA Auditor installation datadatasets sets is limited to systems programmers only, and all updateWRITE and/or allocategreater access is logged. ReadREAD access can be given to auditors, security administrators, and/or CA Auditor's STCs and batch users. The installing systems programmer will identify and document the product datadatasets, sets and categorize them according to who will have updateWRITE and/or altergreater access, and if required, ensure that all updateWRITE and/or allocategreater access is logged. The installing systems programmer will identify if any additional groups have updateWRITE and/or altergreater access for specific data setsdatasets, and once documented will work with the ISSO to ensure they are properly restricted to the ACP (Access Control Program) active on the system. DataDatasets sets to be protected will be: SYS2.EXAMINE SYS2A.EXAMINE The following commands are provided as a sample for implementing datadataset set controls: $KEY(SYS2) EXAMINE.- UID(&ltsyspaudt>) R(A) W(L) A(L) E(A) EXAMINE.- UID(&ltaudtaudt>) R(A) E(A) EXAMINE.- UID(&ltsecaaudt>) R(A) E(A) EXAMINE.- UID(EXAMMON) R(A) E(A) $KEY(SYS2A) EXAMINE.- UID(&ltsyspaudt>) R(A) W(L) A(L) E(A) EXAMINE.- UID(&ltaudtaudt>) R(A) E(A) EXAMINE.- UID(&ltsecaaudt>) R(A) E(A) EXAMINE.- UID(EXAMMON) R(A) E(A)

Discussion

CA Auditor installation datadatasets sets have the ability to use privileged functions and/or have access to sensitive data. Failure to properly restrict access to these datadatasets sets could result in violating the integrity of the base product, which could result in compromising the operating system or sensitive data.

Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the Datadataset Set and Resource Data Collection: - PDI(ZADT0020). Verify that the access to the LTDMMAIN resource in the PROGRAM resource class is restricted. If the following guidance is true, this is not a finding. ___ The ACF2 rules for the resources specify a default access of NONE. ___ The ACF2 rules for the resources are restricted access to systems programmers, auditors, and security personnel.
