Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of zSecure Admin/Audit exploiting the  *
  *                 "System settings and software levels" report *
  *                 (newlist type SYSTEM) and users of zSecure   *
  *                 Audit compliance testing framework           *
  *                 exploiting STIG compliance rule AAMV0030.    *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: zSecure Admin/Audit generates an        *
  *                      incorrect value for the LNKAUTH CARLa   *
  *                      field (newlist type SYSTEM) causing the *
  *                      STIG rule AAMV0030 to be non-compliant. *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF provided.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  When the LNKAUTH system initialization parameter is set to
  APFTAB, zSecure Admin/Audit reports the LNKAUTH field value
  (newlist type SYSTEM) incorrectly as 'Yes' when a dynamic link
  list is defined after an IPL. This also causes the STIG
  compliance rule AAMV0030 (LNKAUTH=APFTAB) to be non-compliant.
  

Problem conclusion

• zSecure Admin/Audit has been modified so that it correctly
  reports the LNKAUTH system initialization parameter.
