WebSphere MQ resource classes must be properly activated.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

WebSphere MQ resources allow for the control of administrator functions, connections, commands, queues, processes, and namelists. Some resources provide the ability to disable or bypass security checking. Failure to properly protect WebSphere MQ resources may result in unauthorized access. This exposure could compromise the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of system services, applications, and customer data.

Remediation Templates

The ISSO will ensure that all WebSphere MQ resources are active and properly defined.

Ensure the System Authorization Facility Definition (SAFDEF) includes an entry for WebSphere MQ as follows:

INSERT SAFDEF.MQS ID(MQS) FUNCRET(8) RETCODE(4) MODE(IGNORE)
RACROUTE(REQUEST=EXTRACT,CLASS=MQADMIN) REP
Ensure the Internal CLASMAP Definitions include the following entries:

INSERT CLASMAP.MQADMIN RESOURCE(MQADMIN) RSRCTYPE(MQA) ENTITYLN(62)
INSERT CLASMAP.MQQUEUE RESOURCE(MQQUEUE) RSRCTYPE(MQQ) ENTITYLN(53)
INSERT CLASMAP.MQNLIST RESOURCE(MQNLIST) RSRCTYPE(MQN) ENTITYLN(53)
INSERT CLASMAP.MQCMDS RESOURCE(MQCMDS) RSRCTYPE(MQC) ENTITYLN(22)
INSERT CLASMAP.MQCONN RESOURCE(MQCONN) RSRCTYPE(MQK) ENTITYLN(10)
INSERT CLASMAP.MQPROC RESOURCE(MQPROC) RSRCTYPE(MQP) ENTITYLN(53)

When SCYCASE is set to mixed CLASMAP Definitions must include the following entries:

INSERT CLASMAP.MXADMIN RESOURCE(MXADMIN) RSRCTYPE(MXA) ENTITYLN(62)
INSERT CLASMAP.MXNLIST RESOURCE(MXNLIST) RSRCTYPE(MXN) ENTITYLN(53)
INSERT CLASMAP.MXPROC RESOURCE(MXPROC) RSRCTYPE(MXP) ENTITYLN(53)
INSERT CLASMAP.MXQUEUE RESOURCE(MXQUEUE) RSRCTYPE(MXQ) ENTITYLN(53)
INSERT CLASMAP.MXTOPIC RESOURCE(MXTOPIC) RSRCTYPE(MXT) ENTITYLN(246)
