CA 1 Tape Management default system password is common with all CA 1 systems. With this password, CA 1 tape processing can be deactivated. This could allow for unauthorized access to information stored on tape volumes and the CA 1 Tape Management Catalog (TMC). The result may threaten the integrity and availability of the CA 1 Tape Management System, and compromise the confidentiality of customer data.
Checks: C-25929r1141342_chk

Refer to the following reports produced by the z/OS Data Collection: - CA1RPT(TMSTMVT) - for r11.5 and below. - CA1RPT(TMOOPTxx) - for r12.0 and above. Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the z/OS Data Collection: - PDI(ZCA10041). For r11.5 and below, refer to offset x'18' from the beginning of module TMSTMVT. For r12.0 and above, refer to the SHUTDWN option specified in the TMOOPTxx. The TMOOPTxx member is specified in the TMOSYSxx member in the dataset allocated by the TMSPARM DD statement in the TMSINIT STC. If the default CA 1 system password is not being utilized, this is not a finding. Note: The default system password for CA 1 provided by CA is CA1(TMS). The default system passwords provided by SSO are SSOCA1DF and SSOC@1DF.

Fix: F-25917r1141343_fix

CA 1 Tape Management installation datasets have the ability to use privileged functions and/or have access to sensitive data. Failure to properly restrict access to these datasets could result in violating the integrity of the base product which could result in compromising the operating system or sensitive data.
Checks: C-25931r1141348_chk

Refer to the following report produced by the dataset and Resource Data Collection: - SENSITVE.RPT(CA1PROD). Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the dataset and Resource Data Collection: - PDI(ZCA10000). Verify that the accesses to the CA 1 Tape Management installation datasets are properly restricted. If the following guidance is true, this is not a finding. The ACF2 dataset rules for the datasets restrict READ access to all authorized users. The ACF2 dataset rules for the datasets restrict WRITE and/or greater access to systems programming personnel. The ACF2 dataset rules for the datasets specify that all (i.e., failures and successes) WRITE and/or greater access is logged.

Fix: F-25919r1141349_fix

Ensure that WRITE and/or greater access to CA 1 Tape Management installation datasets is limited to systems programmers only, and all WRITE and/or greater access is logged. READ access can be given to all authorized users. The installing systems programmer will identify and document the product datasets, categorize them according to who will have WRITE and/or greater access, and if required, ensure that all WRITE and/or greater access is logged. The installing systems programmer will identify if any additional groups have WRITE and/or greater access for specific datasets, and once documented will work with the ISSO to ensure that they are properly restricted to the ACP (Access Control Program) active on the system. The following is an example of the type of datasets to be protected: SYS2.CA1. SYS2A.CA1.*.CAILIB SYS2A.CA1.*.CAILPA Or SYS2A.CA1.*.CTAPLINK SYS3.CA1. SYS3A.CA1.*.CAILIB Or SYS3A.CA1.*.CTAPLINK SYS3A.CA1.*.CTAPLPA The following commands are provided as a sample for implementing dataset controls: $KEY(S2C) $PREFIX(SYS2) CA1.V-.- UID(syspaudt) R(A) W(L) A(L) E(A) CA1.V-.- UID(authorized users/*) R(A) E(A) SET RULE COMPILE 'ACF2.MVA.DSNRULES(S2C)' STORE $KEY(SYS2A0C) $MODE(ABORT) $PREFIX(SYS2A) CA1.V-.CAILIB UID(syspaudt) R(A) W(L) A(L) E(A) CA1.V-.CAILIB UID(authorized users/*) R(A) E(A) CA1.V-.CAILPA UID(syspaudt) R(A) W(L) A(L) E(A) CA1.V-.CAILPA UID(authorized users/*) R(A) E(A) Or CA1.V-.

(Note: The datasets and/or dataset prefixes identified below are examples of a possible installation. The actual datasets and/or prefixes are determined when the product is installed on a system through the product's installation guide and can be site specific.) Datasets to be protected will be: CA1.TMS* (Datasets that are altered by the product's STCs can be more specific.)

CA 1 Tape Management TMC and AUDIT and optional datasets control the operations and access to the tape management system, and site specific information regarding tape volumes. Unauthorized access to these datasets could threaten the integrity and availability of the CA 1 Tape Management System, and compromise the confidentiality of customer data.
Checks: C-25933r1141354_chk

Refer to the following report produced by the dataset and Resource Data Collection: - SENSITVE.RPT(CA1RPT). Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the dataset and Resource Data Collection: - PDI(ZCA10003). Verify that all CA 1 Tape Management TMC, AUDIT, and optional RDS and VPD datasets are properly protected. If the following guidance is true, this is not a finding. The ACF2 dataset access authorizations restrict READ access to application support personnel, production control and scheduling personnel, operations personnel, and auditors. The ACF2 dataset access authorizations restrict WRITE and/or greater access to only systems programming personnel and tape management personnel. The ACF2 dataset access authorizations restrict UPDATE access to CA 1 batch production jobs and CA 1 started tasks. The ACF2 dataset access authorizations specify that all (i.e., failures and successes) ALTER access are logged.

Fix: F-25921r1141355_fix

The ISSO will ensure that WRITE and/or greater access to CA 1 TMC, AUDIT, and optional RDS and VPD datasets is limited to only systems programming personnel and tape management personnel. UPDATE access can be given to CA 1 STCs and/or batch users. READ access can be given to application support personnel, production control and scheduling personnel, operations personnel, and auditors. ALTER access will be logged. The installing systems programmer will identify and document the product datasets, categorize them according to who will have WRITE and/or greater access, and if required, ensure that all WRITE and/or greater access is logged. The installing systems programmer will identify if any additional groups have WRITE and/or greater access for specific datasets, and once documented will work with the ISSO to ensure they are properly restricted to the ACP (Access Control Program) active on the system. (Note: The datasets and/or dataset prefixes identified below are examples of a possible installation. The actual datasets and/or prefixes are determined when the product is installed on a system through the product's installation guide and can be site specific.) Due to the unique file structure of the TMC and Audit datasets, CA 1 uses the YSVC programs to handle all direct I/O activity. Because standard OPEN/CLOSE macros are not used, typical dataset security checks are not performed. Even if a user does not have READ access to these datasets, the YSVC programs can enable that user to read and update records within these files. Therefore, control READ access to the TMC and Audit datasets by the YSVCUNCD and YSVCCOND resource names. Typical users should be restricted to conditional READ access. Restrict CA 1 batch production jobs and CA 1 started tasks to the following access authority: Unconditional READ and UPDATE access to the TMC, Audit, Retention, and Vault Pattern Description datasets. Note: READ and UPDATE access to the TMC and Audit datasets are controlled by the YSVCUNCD and YSVCCOND resource names, and by standard ACP dataset controls, because some CA 1 utilities use conventional OPEN/CLOSE methods. The following commands are provided as a sample for implementing dataset controls: SET RULE $KEY(S3C) $PREFIX(SYS3) CA1.AUDIT UID(<audtaudt>) R(A) E(A) CA1.AUDIT UID(<operaudt>) R(A) E(A) CA1.AUDIT UID(<pcspaudt>) R(A) E(A) CA1.AUDIT UID(CA1 STCs) R(A) W(A) E(A) CA1.AUDIT UID(<syspaudt>) R(A) W(A) A(L) E(A) CA1.AUDIT UID(<tapeaudt>) R(A) W(A) A(L) E(A) CA1.AUDIT UID(<tstcaudt>) R(A) W(A) A(L) E(A) CA1.RDS UID(<syspaudt>) R(A) W(A) A(L) E(A) CA1.RDS UID(<tapeaudt>) R(A) W(A) A(L) E(A) CA1.RDS UID(<tstcaudt>) R(A) W(A) A(L) E(A) CA1.TMC UID(<appsaudt>) R(A) E(A) CA1.TMC UID(<audtaudt>) R(A) E(A) CA1.TMC UID(<operaudt>) R(A) E(A) CA1.TMC UID(<pcspaudt>) R(A) E(A) CA1.TMC UID(CA1 STCs) R(A) W(A) E(A) CA1.TMC UID(<syspaudt>) R(A) W(A) A(L) E(A) CA1.TMC UID(<tapeaudt>) R(A) W(A) A(L) E(A) CA1.TMC UID(<tstcaudt>) R(A) W(A) A(L) E(A) CA1.VPD UID(<syspaudt>) R(A) W(A) A(L) E(A) CA1.VPD UID(<tapeaudt>) R(A) W(A) A(L) E(A) CA1.VPD UID(<tstcaudt>) R(A) W(A) A(L) E(A)

CA 1 Tape Management can run with sensitive system privileges, and potentially can circumvent system controls. Failure to properly control access to product resources could result in the compromise of the operating system environment, and compromise the confidentiality of customer data. Many utilities assign resource controls that can be granted to systems programmers only in greater than read authority. Resources are also granted to certain non systems personnel with read only authority. On-line applications offer the capabilities to directly access the CA 1 Tape Management Catalog (TMC) for query and update purposes. CA 1 special tape handling privileges offer the ability to process special tape requirements, such as BLP and foreign tapes. Uncontrolled access to these CA 1 features and facilities may threaten the integrity and availability of the CA 1 tape management system, and compromise the confidentiality of customer data.

CA 1 Tape Management offers multiple external security interfaces that are controlled by parameters specified in TMOOPT00. These interfaces provide security controls for several CA 1 system and user functions. Without proper controls of these sensitive functions, the integrity of the CA 1 Tape Management System and the confidentiality of data stored on tape volumes may be compromised.
Checks: C-25937r1141364_chk

Refer to the following report produced by the z/OS Data Collection: - CA1RPT(TMSSTATS). Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the z/OS Data Collection: - PDI(ZCA10040). CA 1 external security utilizing ACF2 is accomplished in the manner described in this section. Note: The TMOOPTxx member is specified in the TMOSYSxx member in the dataset allocated by the TMSPARM DD statement in the TMSINIT STC. By default, the suffix 00 is used for these members. However, overrides can be specified by PARM value(s) on the EXEC statement in the TMSINIT STC and/or in the TMOSYSxx member. Review the options and values of the below CA 1 parameters. If the options are set to the specified value, this is not a finding. CA 1 SECURITY OPTIONS - ACF2 Option Value BATCH YES obsolete as of r12.0 CATSEC NO obsolete as of r12.0 CMD YES CREATE see Note 1 DSNB YES FUNC YES see Note 2 OCEOV NO see Note 3 PMASK Do not specify or change PSWD YES SCRTCH NO SECWTO YES UNDEF FAIL UX0AUPD NO see Note 4 YSVC YES Note 1: The CREATE parameter defines the level of access that is required to create a dataset on tape. The default value is UPDATE. However, the vendor recommends the value be set to CREATE if running CA Top Secret or ACF2 and ALTER if running RACF. Note 2: The FUNC option provides supplementary security for BLP access. The tape label bypass privilege must still be specified in the ACF2 user LID record to allow access to BLP processing. Note 3: The CA 1 security option, OCEOV, is set to NO because ACF2 obtains control of dataset OPEN/CLOSE processing before the CA 1 intercept. The vendor recommends that the first security call be used and that this CA 1 control option be turned OFF. Therefore, TAPEDSN must be specified in the OPTS option in the ACF2 GSO record. Note 4: The UX0AUPD will specify YES only if the fields are altered in the TMC and the TMSUXxA (for r11.5 and below) or TMSXITA (for r12.0 and above) is changed.

Fix: F-25925r1141365_fix

The systems programmer/ISSO will ensure that the CA 1 external security options are specified in accordance with the ACP being used. CA 1 Tape Management ACP security interfaces are controlled by options coded in the TMOOPTxx member identified in the TMOSYSxx member of the dataset allocated by the TMSPARM DD statement in the TMSINIT STC. The specific required option settings are dependent on the ACP in use on the system. CA 1 SECURITY OPTIONS - ACF2 Option Value BATCH YES obsolete as of r12.0 CATSEC NO obsolete as of r12.0 CMD YES CREATE see Note 1 DSNB YES FUNC YES see Note 2 OCEOV NO see Note 3 PMASK Do not specify or change PSWD YES SCRTCH NO SECWTO YES UNDEF FAIL UX0AUPD NO see Note 4 YSVC YES Note 1: The CREATE parameter defines the level of access that is required to create a dataset on tape.

Note 2: The FUNC option provides supplementary security for BLP access. The tape label bypass privilege must still be specified in the ACF2 user LID record to allow access to BLP processing. Note 3: The CA 1 security option, OCEOV, is set to NO because ACF2 obtains control of dataset OPEN/CLOSE processing before the CA 1 intercept. The vendor recommends that the first security call be used and that this CA 1 control option be turned OFF. Therefore, TAPEDSN must be specified in the OPTS option in the ACF2 GSO record. Note 4: The UX0AUPD will specify YES only if fields are altered in the TMC and the TMSUXxA (for r11.5 and below) or TMSXITA (for r12.0 and above) is changed.
