Fix Recommendation

The IAO will ensure that process security is active, and that all profiles defined to the MQPROC class and that process inquiries are restricted to read access.

For all process resources (i.e., ssid.processname) defined to TYPE(MQP) (i.e., MQPROC resource class), ensure access authorization restricts access to users requiring the ability to make process inquiries. This is difficult to determine. However, an item for concern may be a profile with * READ specified in the access list.

NOTE: ssid is the queue manager name (a.k.a., subsystem identifier).

Example:

$KEY(ssid) TYPE(MQP)
CHL_TRIG_PROCESS UID(MQAdministrators) SERVICE(READ) LOG
CHL_TRIG_PROCESS UID(*) PREVENT
SYSTEM.DEFAULT.PROCESS UID(MQAdministrators) SERVICE(READ) LOG
SYSTEM.DEFAULT.PROCESS UID(*) PREVENT
