CA IDMS must isolate the security manager to which users, groups, roles are assigned authorities/permissions to resources.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>An isolation boundary provides access control and protects the integrity of the hardware, software, and firmware that perform security functions. Security functions are the hardware, software, and/or firmware of the information system responsible for enforcing the system security policy and supporting the isolation of code and data on which the protection is based. Developers and implementers can increase the assurance in security functions by employing well-defined security policy models; structured, disciplined, and rigorous hardware and software development techniques; and sound system/security engineering principles. Database Management Systems typically separate security functionality from non-security functionality via separate databases or schemas. Database objects or code implementing security functionality should not be commingled with objects or code implementing application logic. When security and non-security functionality are commingled, users who have access to non-security functionality may be able to access security functionality.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

Remediation - Manual Procedure
In the internally secured entries that are to be changed to external security, change the #SECRTT parms SECBY=INTERNAL to SECBY=EXTERNAL. Add the parameters EXTCLS and EXTNAME to the entry using the resource class and name defined in the ESM. For instance:
#SECRTT TYPE=ENTRY,SECBY=EXTERNAL, X
RESTYPE=restype,EXTCLS=CA@IDMS, X
EXTNAME=(extname_definition)
