From z/OS Quest NC-Pass for RACF STIG
Part of ZB000001
Associated with IA controls: ECCD-2, ECAR-3, ECAR-2, ECCD-1, ECAR-1, DCSL-1
Quest NC-Pass STC data sets have the ability to use privileged functions and/or have access to sensitive data. Failure to properly restrict access to these data sets could result in violating the integrity of the base product which could result in compromising the operating system or sensitive data.
Refer to the following report produced by the Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - SENSITVE.RPT(NCPASSTC) Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - PDI(ZNCP0001) Verify that the accesses to the Quest NC-Pass STC data sets are properly restricted. ___ The RACF data set rules for the data sets restricts READ access to auditors. ___ The RACF data set rules for the data sets restricts UPDATE access to domain level security administrators. ___ The RACF data set rules for the data sets restricts WRITE and/or greater access to systems programming personnel. ___ The RACF data set rules for the data sets restricts WRITE and/or greater access to the Quest NC-Pass’s STC(s) and/or batch user(s). ___ The RACF data set rules for the data sets specify UACC(NONE) and NOWARNING.
The IAO will ensure that WRITE and/or greater access to Quest NC-Pass STC data sets is limited to System Programmers and/or Quest NC-Pass’s STC(s) and/or batch user(s) only. UPDATE access can be given to domain level security administrators. READ access can be given to auditors.
The installing Systems Programmer will identify and document the product data sets and categorize them according to who will have update and alter access and if required that all update and allocate access is logged. He will identify if any additional groups have update and/or alter access for specific data sets, and once documented he will work with the IAO to see that they are properly restricted to the ACP (Access Control Program) active on the system.
Data sets to be protected will be:
SYS3.NCPASS.*.PASSCAF
SYS3.NCPASS.*.PASSVSDD
The following commands are provided as a sample for implementing data set controls:
ad 'SYS3.NCPASS.*.PASSCAF.**' uacc(none) owner(sys3) -
audit(failures(read)) -
data('Vendor DS Profile: Quest NC-Pass')
ad 'SYS3.NCPASS.*.PASSVSDD.**' uacc(none) owner(sys3) -
audit(failures(read)) -
data('Vendor DS Profile: Quest NC-Pass')
pe ' SYS3.NCPASS.*.PASSCAF.**' id(
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.
