Vulnerability discussion

The system-wide options control the default settings for determining how the ACP will function when handling requests for access to the operating system environment, ACP, and customer data. The ACP provides the ability to set a number of these fields at the subsystem level. If no setting is found, the system-wide defaults will be used. The improper setting of any of these fields, individually or in combination with another, can compromise the security of the processing environment. In addition, failure to establish standardized settings for the ACP control options introduces the possibility of exposure during migration process or contingency plan activation.

Check content

Refer to the following report produced by the RACF Data Collection: - RACFCMDS.RPT(SETROPTS) Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the RACF Data Collection: - PDI(RACF0360) Ensure the INACTIVE value is set properly In the message "INACTIVE USERIDS ARE BEING AUTOMATICALLY REVOKED AFTER xxx DAYS.", where xxx is a value of 1 to 35.

Fix text

The IAO will ensure that INACTIVE SETROPTS value is set to a value of 1 to 35 days, this specifies the number of days that a user is inactive and still remain valid. INACTIVE specifies the number of days that a USERID can remain unused and still be considered valid. Evaluate the impact associated with implementation of the control option. Develop a plan of action to implement the control option as specified in the example below: The RACF Command SETR LIST will show the status of RACF Controls including a status of INACTIVE. The INACTIVE value is set properly with the command: SETR INACTIVE(35)

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
