Check Text (C-205501r982299_chk)
If the Mainframe Product employs an external security manager (ESM) for all account management functions, this is not applicable.
Examine user account management configurations.
If the Mainframe Product account management configuration does not require that only cryptographically protected passwords are stored, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-5767r299737_fix)
Configure the Mainframe Product account management to store only cryptographically protected passwords.
