Description
CA Auditor User 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(ADTUSER) Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - PDI(ZADT0002) Verify that the accesses to the CA Auditor User data sets are properly restricted. ___ The RACF data set rules for the data sets restricts UPDATE and/or ALTER access to systems programming personnel, security personnel and auditors.

Fix Text (F-26096r519558_fix)

The IAO will ensure that update and alter access to CA Auditor User data sets are limited to System Programmers, security personnel and 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 alter 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.EXAMINE The following commands are provided as a sample for implementing data set controls: ad 'SYS3.EXAMINE.**' uacc(none) owner(sys3) - audit(failures(read)) - data('Vendor DS Profile: CA Auditor') pe 'SYS3.EXAMINE.**' id(<syspaudt>) acc(a) pe 'SYS3.EXAMINE.**' id(<audtaudt> <secaaudt>) acc(A) setr generic(dataset) refresh
