| Description | ||||
| IBM z/VM 6.4.0 made changes to obscure whether a logon is invalid due to the user ID or due to the password. Both the logon prompting sequence and the message HCPLGA050E were changed. However, DELAYLOG causes a delay for a logon with an invalid password that it does not cause when the user ID is invalid. Thus, if you are using DELAYLOG with z/VM 6.4.0, you can inadvertently let someone trying to break into your system know that it is the password that is invalid. | ||||

Check Text (C-237916r858966_chk)
Display the CA VM:Secure product Config file.
If the "DELAYLOG" record does not exist, this is not a finding.
If the "DELAYLOG" record is set to "0", this is not a finding.
Fix Text (F-41085r858965_fix)
Configure DELAYLOG = 0 or delete the "DELAYLOG" configuration file record.
