Error description

  • Cannot make the two rules (RACF0590/CKAGR590 and
    ZJES0060/CKAGJE60) compliant at the same time.
    - RACF0590 uses PRODAUDT to hold a list of IDs with discrete
    surrogate
    profiles, ie the ID part of am <ID>.SUBMIT profile in the
    SURROGAT
    class.
    - ZJES0060 uses PRODAUDT to hold a list of IDs which are
    permitted to
    be on the ACL of <ID>.SUBMIT profiles, eg TWS or similar.
    These groups are distinct, so if PRODAUDT is populated with a
    list of
    discrete surrogate profile IDs, then RACF0590 is compliant but
    ZJES0060
    is non-compliant. If it's populated with a list of authorised
    job
    submitters, then it's the other way round, ie ZJES0060 is
    compliant but
    RACF0590 is non-compliant.

    ****************************************************************
    The zSecure Audit Compliance Testing framework has following
    issues:
    
     - the STIG compliance rule ZJES0060 (Surrogate users must be
       controlled in accordance with proper security requirements)
       uses the same ID customization member as the STIG compliance
       rule RACF0590 (RACF batch jobs must be properly secured)
       resulting in an compliance conflict between these to rules;
     - the STIG compliance rule has a typo in its caption;
     - running PCI-DSS compliance rule 7.2.3 results in MSGCKR2445
       which states "SET(7.2.3_default_access) has been specified,
       but no RULE_SET 7.2.3_default_access exists";
    

Problem conclusion

  • zSecure Audit has been modified, so that the issues addressed
    by this APAR are resolved. Please note the documentation changes
    as specified by the APAR tracking comment data.
