Remediation - Manual Procedure
Ensure that WRITE and/or greater access to IBM Integrated Crypto Service Facility (ICSF) STC and/or batch data sets are limited to system programmers and ICSF STC and/or batch jobs only. READ access can be given to auditors at the ISSOs discretion.
The installing Systems Programmer will identify and document the product data sets and categorize them according to who will have what type of access and if required, which type of access is logged. The installing systems programmer will identify any additional groups requiring access to specific data sets, and once documented the installing systems programmer will work with the ISSO to confirm that they are properly restricted to the ACP (Access Control Program) 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.)
