SV-82707r1_rule The Mainframe Product must generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful logon attempts occur.

Vulnerability discussion

Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident, or identify those responsible for one. Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter).

Check content

If the Mainframe Product does not have the function or capability for user logon, this is not applicable. Examine configuration settings. Determine if successful/unsuccessful logon attempts are audited. If they are not, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the Mainframe Product to provide audit SAF to call when successful/unsuccessful logon attempts occur.

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.
