Fix Recommendation

There are two profiles to create when using the CBIND class. One is the CB.BIND.server_name profile, which controls whether a local or remote client can access servers. The CB.BIND is mandatory for the first two qualifiers for the profile; the third qualifier is the server name. Second is the CB.server_name profile that controls whether a client can use components in a server; again these definitions are mandatory.

Ensure the following items are in effect for CBIND resource protection:

The CBIND resource class is active.

The CB.BIND.server_name resource is defined to the CBIND resource class with a UACC(NONE).

Access to the CB.BIND.server_name resource is restricted to WAS server (STC) userids and systems management userids (e.g., WebSphere administrator ID).

The following command provide sample definitions and permissions for this CBIND resource:

SETR CLASSACT(CBIND)
SETR GENERIC(CBIND)
SETR RACL(CBIND)

RDEFINE CBIND cb.bind.<servername> UACC(none) owner(admin) audit(all(read)) data('IAW SRR PDI ZWAS0030')

Permit cb.bind.<servername> CLASS(CBIND) ID(<wscfg1>) ACCESS(CONTROL)

Note: "wscfg1" is a RACF group that contains the Websphere Application Server STCs and maintenance userids.
