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-26319r1145800_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 data set 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-26307r1041374_fix

The systems programmer/ISSO will ensure that the CA 1 system password is changed from the vendor default system password. Verify upon installation that the password is not the same as the default password and user distributed with the original installation default. 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.

CA-1 Tape Management user exits, TMSUXnA and TMSUXnS, provide the capability to bypass or modify existing ACP controls. A review and evaluation of exit code must be performed to ensure that the integrity of the CA-1 processing environment is kept intact. Unauthorized usage of these exits may compromise the confidentiality and integrity of customer data.
Checks: C-26320r1145802_chk

Refer to the following report produced by the z/OS Data Collection: - CA1RPT(TMSCKLVL). Determine if CA 1 user exits, TMSUXnA and TMSUXnS (for r11.5 and below) or TMSXITA and TMSXITS (for r12.0 and above) are active. If both CA 1 user exits are not found, this is not a finding. If one or both user exits are installed and the following requirements are true, this is not a finding: The usage and function of the user exit(s) is fully documented. The use of the user exit(s) is approved. All associated documentation is on file with the ISSO.

CA 1 Tape Management installation data sets have the ability to use privileged functions and/or have access to sensitive data. Failure to properly restrict access to these data sets could result in violating the integrity of the base product which could result in compromising the operating system or sensitive data.
Checks: C-26321r1145804_chk

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

Fix: F-26309r1145805_fix

Ensure that WRITE and/or greater access to CA 1 Tape Management installation data sets 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 data sets and categorize them according to who will have WRITE and/or greater access and if required 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 data sets and once documented will work with the ISSO to see that they are properly restricted to the Access Control Program (ACP) active on the system. The following is an example of the type of data sets 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 data set controls: TSS ADD(SYS2) DSN(SYS2) TSS ADD(SYS2A) DSN(SYS2A) TSS ADD(SYS3) DSN(SYS3) TSS ADD(SYS3A) DSN(SYS3A) TSS PERMIT(syspaudt) DSN(SYS2.CA1.)

Refer to the following report produced by the TSS Data Collection and Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - SENSITVE.RPT(CA1STC). Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - PDI(ZCA10001). Verify that the accesses to CA1 Tape Management Started Tasks (STCs) data sets are properly restricted. If the following guidance is true, this is not a finding. The TSS data set access authorizations restrict READ access to auditors. The TSS data set access authorizations restrict WRITE and/or greater access to systems programming personnel. The TSS data set access authorizations restrict WRITE and/or greater access to CA1 Tape Management STCs and/or batch users.

Fix: F-26310r1145808_fix

Ensure that WRITE and/or greater access to CA1 Tape management STC data sets is limited to systems programmers and/or CA1 Tape management STC(s) and/or batch user(s) only. READ access can be given to auditors. (Note: The data sets and/or data set prefixes identified below are examples of a possible installation. The actual data sets and/or prefixes are determined when the product is actually installed on a system through the product's installation guide and can be site specific.) Data sets to be protected will be: CA1.TMS* (Data sets that are altered by the product's STCs; this can be more specific.)

CA 1 Tape Management TMC and AUDIT and optional data sets control the operations and access to the tape management system, and site specific information regarding tape volumes. Unauthorized access to these data sets could threaten the integrity and availability of the CA 1 Tape Management System, and compromise the confidentiality of customer data.
Checks: C-26323r1145810_chk

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

Fix: F-26311r1145811_fix

The ISSO will ensure that WRITE and/or greater access to CA 1 TMC, AUDIT and optional RDS and VPD data sets are 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. ALL access will be logged. The installing systems programmer will identify and document the product data sets and categorize them according to who will have WRITE and/or greater access and if required 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 data sets, and once documented will work with the ISSO to ensure they are properly restricted to the Access Control Program (ACP) active on the system. (Note: The data sets and/or data set prefixes identified below are examples of a possible installation. The actual data sets and/or prefixes are determined when the product is actually 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 data sets, CA 1 uses the YSVC programs to handle all direct I/O activity. Because standard OPEN/CLOSE macros are not used, typical data set security checks are not performed. Even if a user does not have READ access to these data sets, the YSVC programs can enable that user to read and update records within these files. Therefore, control READ access to the TMC and Audit data sets 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 data sets. Note: READ and UPDATE access to the TMC and Audit data sets are controlled by the YSVCUNCD and YSVCCOND resource names, and by standard ACP data set controls, because some CA 1 utilities use conventional OPEN/CLOSE methods. The following commands are provided as a sample for implementing data set controls: TSS ADD(SYS3) DSN(SYS3) TSS PERMIT(<audtaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.AUDIT) ACCESS(READ) TSS PERMIT(<operaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.AUDIT) ACCESS(READ) TSS PERMIT(<pcspaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.AUDIT) ACCESS(READ) TSS PERMIT(CA1 STCs) DSN(SYS3.CA1.AUDIT) ACCESS(UPDATE) TSS PERMIT(<syspaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.AUDIT) ACCESS(ALL) ACTION(AUDIT) TSS PERMIT(<syspaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.AUDIT) ACCESS(UPDATE) TSS PERMIT(<tapeaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.AUDIT) ACCESS(ALL) ACTION(AUDIT) TSS PERMIT(<tapeaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.AUDIT) ACCESS(UPDATE) TSS PERMIT(<tstcaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.AUDIT) ACCESS(ALL) ACTION(AUDIT) TSS PERMIT(<tstcaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.AUDIT) ACCESS(UPDATE) TSS PERMIT(<syspaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.RDS) ACCESS(ALL) ACTION(AUDIT) TSS PERMIT(<syspaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.RDS) ACCESS(UPDATE) TSS PERMIT(<tapeaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.RDS) ACCESS(ALL) ACTION(AUDIT) TSS PERMIT(<tapeaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.RDS) ACCESS(UPDATE) TSS PERMIT(<tstcaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.RDS) ACCESS(ALL) ACTION(AUDIT) TSS PERMIT(<tstcaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.RDS) ACCESS(UPDATE) TSS PERMIT(<audtaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.TMC) ACCESS(READ) TSS PERMIT(<operaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.TMC) ACCESS(READ) TSS PERMIT(<pcspaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.TMC) ACCESS(READ) TSS PERMIT(CA1 STCs) DSN(SYS3.CA1.TMC) ACCESS(UPDATE) TSS PERMIT(<syspaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.TMC) ACCESS(ALL) ACTION(AUDIT) TSS PERMIT(<syspaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.TMC) ACCESS(UPDATE) TSS PERMIT(<tapeaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.TMC) ACCESS(ALL) ACTION(AUDIT) TSS PERMIT(<tapeaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.TMC) ACCESS(UPDATE) TSS PERMIT(<tstcaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.TMC) ACCESS(ALL) ACTION(AUDIT) TSS PERMIT(<tstcaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.TMC) ACCESS(UPDATE) TSS PERMIT(<syspaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.VPD) ACCESS(ALL) ACTION(AUDIT) TSS PERMIT(<syspaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.VPD) ACCESS(UPDATE) TSS PERMIT(<tapeaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.VPD) ACCESS(ALL) ACTION(AUDIT) TSS PERMIT(<tapeaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.VPD) ACCESS(UPDATE) TSS PERMIT(<tstcaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.VPD) ACCESS(ALL) ACTION(AUDIT) TSS PERMIT(<tstcaudt>) DSN(SYS3.CA1.VPD) ACCESS(UPDATE)

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. Online 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.

Refer to the following report produced by the TSS Data Collection: - TSSCMDS.RPT(#STC). Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the TSS Data Collection: - PDI(ZCA10032). If the CA 1 Tape Management started task(s) is (are) defined in the TSS STC record, this is not a finding.

Fix: F-26315r1145822_fix

The ISSO working with the systems programmer will ensure the CA 1 Tape Management Started Task(s) is properly identified and/or defined to the system ACP. A unique ACID must be assigned for the CA 1 Tape Management started task(s) through a corresponding STC table entry. The following commands are provided as a sample for defining Started Task(s): TSS ADD(STC) PROCNAME(TMSINIT) ACID(TMSINIT) TSS ADD(STC) PROCNAME(CTS) ACID(CTS)

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.

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 TSS is accomplished in the manner described in this section. Note: The TMOOPTxx member is specified in the TMOSYSxx member in the data set 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 - TSS Option Standard Value BATCH YES obsolete as of r12.0 CATSEC YES obsolete as of r12.0 CMD YES CREATE see Note 1 DSNB YES FUNC YES see Note 2 OCEOV YES 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 data set on tape. The default value is UPDATE. However, the vendor recommends the value be set to CREATE if you are running CA Top Secret or ACF2 and ALTER if you are running RACF. Note 2: The FUNC option provides supplementary security for BLP access. The tape label bypass privilege must still be specified in the ACP userid record to allow access to BLP processing. Note 3: The data set OPEN/CLOSE security call will be handled by the CA 1 interface. To avoid duplication of security checking, the control option TAPE should be turned OFF in the TOP SECRET Control Options. 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.

Fix: F-26317r1145828_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 data set 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.
