Title

IBM RACF batch jobs must be properly secured.

Description

<VulnDiscussion>Batch jobs that are submitted to the operating system should inherit the USERID of the submitter. This will identify the batch job with a userid for the purpose of accessing resources. BATCHALLRACF ensures that a valid USERID is associated with batch jobs. Jobs that are submitted to the operating system via a scheduling facility must also be identified to the system. Without a batch job having an associated USERID, access to system resources will be limited. Satisfies: SRG-OS-00...

Fix Text (Documentation Requirement)

Configure each batch job userid used for batch submission by a Job Scheduler (e.g., CONTROL-M, CA-7, CA-Scheduler, etc.) is defined as an execution-userid in a SURROGAT resource class profile. For example: RDEFINE SURROGAT execution-userid.SUBMIT UACC(NONE) OWNER(execution-userid) Configure Job Scheduler userids (i.e., surrogate-userid) are permitted surrogate authority to the appropriate SURROGAT profiles. For example: PERMIT execution-userid.SUBMIT CLASS(SURROGAT) ID(surrogate-userid) ACCESS(READ)
