BMC CONTROL-D resources must be properly defined and protected.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>BMC CONTROL-D 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.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

The ISSO will work with the systems programmer to verify that the following are properly specified in the ACP.
Note: To determine what resource class is used review the IOACLASS setting in SECPARM. The "Trigger" resources i.e., $$SECxxx (xxx is unique to the product) are defined in the FACILITY resource class
(Note: The resource class, resources, and/or resource prefixes identified below are examples of a possible installation. The actual resource class, resources, and/or resource prefixes are determined when the product is actually installed on a system through the product's installation guide and can be site specific.)
