Refer to the following report produced by the RACF Data Collection: - RACFCMDS.RPT(LISTUSER) Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the RACF Data Collection: - PDI(RACF0580) Verify that the interactive userids are properly defined. If the following guidance is true, this is not a finding. ___ Ensure that each interactive userid has a valid LAST-ACCESS date that does not contain the value UNKNOWN. ___ Ensure that PASS-INTERVAL is set to a value of 1 to 60 days. Note: Current DoD policy has changed requiring that the password change interval is set to a value of 1 to 60. Ensure that this is in effect. Note: FTP only process and server to server userids may have PASSWORD(NOINTERVAL) specified. These users must be identified in the FTPUSERS group in the Dialog Process or FTP in the name field. Additionally these users must change their passwords on an annual basis.

The IAO will review all interactive USERID definitions to ensure required information is provided. Evaluate the impact of correcting any deficiencies. Develop a plan of action and implement the required changes. The PASSWORD-INTERVAL for an interactive user must be set no higher than 60 days. Note: Current DoD policy has changed requiring that the password change interval is set to a value of 1 to 60. Ensure that this is in effect. Note: FTP only process and server to server userids may have PASSWORD(NOINTERVAL) specified. These users must be identified in the FTPUSERS group in the Dialog Process or FTP in the name field. Additionally, these users must change their passwords on an annual basis or less. A sample command to accomplish this is shown here: PW USER() INTERVAL(60). The LAST-ACCESS date must be set to a valid date and not to the value UNKNOWN. A sample command to accomplish this is shown here: ALU RESUME

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.
