Fix Recommendation

Ensure that the following are properly specified in the ACP.

(Note: The resources and/or resource prefixes identified below are examples of a possible installation. The actual resources and/or prefixes are determined when the product is installed on a system through the product's installation guide and can be site specific.)

Use the Compuware Abend-AID Resources and Compuware Abend-AID Resources Descriptions tables in the zOS STIG Addendum. These tables list the resources, access requirements, and logging requirement for Compuware Abend-AID. Ensure the guidelines for the resources and/or generic equivalent specified in the z/OS STIG Addendum are followed.

Note: The Compuware Abend-AID resource class is identified in the Viewer Server's STC configuration procedure, CWPARM DD statement, member name AAVW00, using the parameter setting EXTERNAL_SECURITY_RESOURCE_CLASS. In addition, there is a parameter that identifies the prefix for all resources, which is EXTERNAL_SECURITY_PREFIX.

The ACF2 resources as designated in the above table are defined with a default access of PREVENT.

The ACF2 resource access authorizations restrict access to the appropriate personnel as designated in the above table.

The following commands are provided as a sample for implementing resource controls:

$KEY(prefix) TYPE(resource-type)
SERVER.LOGON.FD.- UID(appdaudt) ALLOW
SERVER.LOGON.FD.- UID(appsaudt) ALLOW
SERVER.LOGON.FD.- UID(operaudt) ALLOW
SERVER.LOGON.FD.- UID(syspaudt) ALLOW
- UID(*) PREVENT
