From: IBM z/OS ACF2 Security Technical Implementation Guide (V9R8)
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Configuring the operating system to implement organization-wide security implementation guides and security checklists ensures compliance with federal standards and establishes a common security baseline across DoD that reflects the most restrictive security posture consistent with operational requirements.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
Check Procedure
From the ACF Command screen enter:
SET LID
LIST IF(REFRESH)
If procedures exist to utilize the logonid with the REFRESH attribute to refresh ACF2 global options, this is not a finding.
Example of a suggested procedure follows:
When the ISSO determines it necessary to refresh the ACF2 global options, the ISSO will do the following:
-Activate the REFRESH ID with the following setting(s):
NOSUSPEND
NOPSWD EXP
PASSWORD(new password)
-Instruct Operations to perform the REFRESH.
-Deactivate the REFRESH ID with the following setting:
SUSPEND
If no procedures exist in accordance with the STIG requirements to utilize the logonid with the REFRESH attribute to refresh ACF2 global options, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Review security procedures for defining LOGONIDs and develop documentation of requirements for the LOGONID associated with the REFRESH attribute.
Example of a suggested procedure follows:
When the ISSO determines it necessary to refresh the ACF2 global options, the ISSO will do the following:
-Activate the required REFRESH ID with the following setting(s):
NOSUSPEND
NOPSWD EXP
PASSWORD(new password)
-Instruct Operations to perform the REFRESH using the newly activated REFRESH ID.
-After refresh is completed.
-Deactivate the REFRESH ID with the following setting:
SUSPEND
This procedure should be documented in the Site Security Plan.
