Error description

  • ZPRM installation IDs which are groups are not exploded to their
    connected User IDs if the group is not empty.
    
    
    When using zSecure to provide information to the Guardium
    Vulnerability Assessment product, DB2 installation IDs defined
    in the DSNZPARM configuration data set are not replaced by
    connected user IDs in the RACF_DB2_ACL field by the 'EFFECTIVE'
    field output modifier in cases where installation IDs are RACF
    group IDs.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of zSecure Audit exploiting Db2        *

    *                      installation group IDs defined in the   *
    *                      DSNZPARM configuration data set by      *

    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF provided and review the        *
    *                 documentation update.                        *
    ****************************************************************
    When DB2 installation defined IDs (SYSADM, SYSADM2, SYSOPR1,
    SYSOPR2, SECADM1, and SECADM2) refer to RACF groups, zSecure
    Audit does not expand these groups to a list of the connected
    user IDs in the the DB2 consolidated access list.
    

Problem conclusion

  • zSecure Audit has been modified, so that DB2 installation
    defined IDs SYSADM, SYSADM2, SYSOPR1, SYSOPR2, SECADM1, and
    SECADM2 are replaced by a list of connected user ID in cases
    where these installation defined IDs refer to RACF groups in the
    DB2 consolidated access list.
    Please note the documentation change as provided by the APAR
    tracking comment data.
