Check text

Refer to the contents of MIMINIT member of the data set(s) specified in the MIMPARMS DD statement of the started task procedures. Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the z/OS Data Collection: - PDI(ZMIM0040). EnsureVerify the following CA MIM Resource Sharing parameter(s) is (are) specified in the MIMINIT member of the data set(s) specified in the MIMPARMS DD statement of the started task procedures.

Discussion

CA MIM Resource Sharing offers external security interfaces that are controlled by parameters specified in the MIMINIT member in the MIMPARMS DD statement of the started task procedures. These interfaces provide security controls for CA MIM. Without proper controls to ensure that security is active, the integrity of the CA MIM Resource Sharing System and the confidentiality of data stored on the system may be compromised.

Refer to the following report produced by the Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - SENSITVE.RPT(MIMRPT). Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - PDI(ZMIM0000). Verify that the accesses to the CA MIM Resource Sharing installation data sets are properly restricted. If the following guidance is true, this is not a finding. The RACF data set access authorizations restrict READ access to all authorized users. The RACF data set access authorizations restrict WRITE and/or greater access to systems programming personnel. The RACF data set access authorizations specify that all (i.e., failures and successes) WRITE and/or greater access are logged. The RACF data set access authorizations specify UACC(NONE) and NOWARNING.

Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - PDI(ZMIM0001). Verify that the accesses to the CA MIM Resource Sharing STC data sets are properly restricted. If the following guidance is true, this is not a finding. ___ The RACF data set access authorizations restrict READ access to auditors and authorized users. ___ The RACF data set access authorizations restrict WRITE and/or greater access to systems programming personnel. ___ The RACF data set access authorizations restrict WRITE and/or greater access to the CA MIM Resource Sharing's STC(s) and/or batch user(s). ___ The RACF data set access authorizations for the data sets specify UACC(NONE) and NOWARNING.

The ISSO will ensure that WRITE and/or greater access to CA MIM Resource Sharing STC data sets is limited to systems programmers and/or CA MIM Resource Sharing's STC(s) and/or batch user(s) only. ReadREAD access can be given to auditors and authorized users. The installing systems programmer will identify and document the product data sets and categorize them according to who will have WRITE and/or greater access and if required that all WRITE and/or greater access is logged. The installing systems programmer will identify if any additional groups have WRITE and/or greater access for specific data sets, and once documented will work with the ISSO to ensure they are properly restricted to the ACP (Access Control Program) active on the system. (Note: The data sets and/or data set prefixes identified below are examples of a possible installation. The actual data sets and/or prefixes are determined when the product is actually installed on a system through the product's installation guide and can be site specific.) Data sets to be protected will be: SYS3.MIMGR. (Data sets that are altered by the product's STCs, this can be more specific.) The following commands are provided as a sample for implementing data set controls: ad 'SYS3.MIMGR.**' uacc(none) owner(sys3) - audit(failures(read)) - data('Vendor DS Profile: CA MIM Resource Sharing') pe 'SYS3.MIMGR.**' id(&ltsyspaudt> &lttstcaudt> CA MIM STCs) acc(a) pe 'SYS3.MIMGR.**' id(&ltaudtaudt> authorized users) acc(r) setr generic(dataset) refresh

Refer to the following report produced by the Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - SENSITVE.RPT(ZMIM0020). Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - PDI(ZMIM0020). Verify that the accesses to resources and/or generic equivalent are properly restricted according to the requirements specified in CA MIM Resource Sharing Resources table in the z/OS STIG Addendum. If the following guidance is true, this is not a finding. The RACF resources are defined with a default access of NONE. The RACF resource access authorizations restrict access to the appropriate personnel. The RACF resource access authorizations are defined with UACC(NONE) and NOWARNING.

Fix text

The ISSO will work with the systems programmer to verify that the following are properly specified in the Access Control Program (ACP). (Note: The resources and/or resource prefixes identified below are examples of a possible installation. The actual resources and/or prefixes are determined when the product is actually installed on a system through the product's installation guide and can be site specific.) Use CA MIM Resource Sharing Resources table in the z/OS STIG Addendum. This table listlists the resources, access requirements, and logging requirement for CA MIM Resource Sharing. Ensure the guidelines for the resources and/or generic equivalent specified in the z/OS STIG Addendum are followed. Note: SAFPREFIX identifies the prefix for all resources. The default value for this keyword parameter is MIMGR. It is coded in the MIMINIT member of the data set specified in the MIMPARMS DD statement of the started task procedures. The RACF resources as designated in the above table are defined with a default access of NONE. The RACF resource access authorizations restrict access to the appropriate personnel as designated in the above table. The RACF resource rules for the resources designated in the above table specify UACC(NONE) and NOWARNING. The following commands are provided as a sample for implementing resource controls: RDEFINE OPERCMDS prefix.** UACC(NONE) OWNER(ADMIN) AUDIT(FAILURE(READ)) RDEFINE OPERCMDES prefix.ACTIVATE UACC(NONE) OWNER(ADMIN) AUDIT(FAILURE(READ)) PERMIT prefix.ACTIVATE CLASS(OPERCMDS) ACCESS(UPDATE) ID(syspaudt)

Refer to the following report produced by the RACF Data Collection: - RACFCMDS.RPT(LISTUSER). Verify that the userid(s) for the CA MIM Resource Sharing started task(s) is (are) properly defined. If the following attributes are defined, this is not a finding. PROTECTED

Discussion

CA MIM Resource Sharing requires a started task that will be restricted to certain resources, datasetsdata sets, and other system functions. ByDefining defining the started task as a userid to the system ACP, It allows the ACP to control the access and authorized users that require these capabilities. Failure to properly control these capabilities, could compromise of the operating system environment, ACP, and customer data.
