Group -
The IDMS environment must require sign-on for users and restrict them to only authorized functions.

SRG-APP-000164-DB-000401
Group -
DBMS authentication using passwords must be avoided.
Passwords that are easy to guess open a vulnerability allowing an unauthorized user to potentially gain access to the DBMS. IDMS uses the External Security Manager (ESM) to enforce complexity and l...Rule Medium Severity -

Group -
Passwords sent through ODBC/JDBC must be encrypted.
Unencrypted passwords transmitted from ODBC and JDBC may be intercepted to prevent their being intercepted in a plain-text format.Rule Low Severity -

Group -
IDMS executing in a local mode batch environment must be able to manually recover or restore database areas affected by failed transactions.
Local mode update jobs can either use local mode journaling or perform a backup of the database prior to executing the local mode updates. Local mode journaling could be completed if the database ...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-APP-000233-DB-000124
Group -
CA IDMS must isolate the security manager to which users, groups, roles are assigned authorities/permissions to resources.
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...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000243-DB-000373
Group -
IDMS must prevent unauthorized and unintended information transfer via database buffers.
The purpose of this control is to prevent information, including encrypted representations of information, produced by the actions of a prior user/role (or the actions of a process acting on behalf...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000251-DB-000160
Group -
IDMS must check the validity of all data input unless the organization says otherwise.
Invalid user input occurs when a user inserts data or characters into an application's data entry fields and the application is unprepared to process that data. This results in unanticipated applic...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000251-DB-000391
Group -
CA IDMS must permit the use of dynamic code execution only in circumstances determined by the organization and limit use of online and batch command facilities from which dynamic statements can be issued.
The IDMS Common Facilities (BCF and OCF) can execute commands that can make updates to IDMS, and their use should be protected.Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000251-DB-000391
Group -
CA IDMS must limit the use of dynamic statements in applications, procedures, and exits to circumstances determined by the organization.
Dynamic SQL statements are compiled at runtime and, if manipulated by an unauthorized user, can produce an innumerable array of undesired results. These statements should not be used casually.Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000251-DB-000391
Group -
CA IDMS must limit use of IDMS server used in issuing dynamic statements from client applications circumstances determined by the organization.
Server tasks can execute dynamic SQL code and should be protected.Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000251-DB-000392
Group -
CA IDMS and associated applications, when making use of dynamic code execution, must scan input data for invalid values that may indicate a code injection attack.
When the use of dynamic SQL is necessary, the code should be written so that the invalid data can be found and the appropriate action taken.Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000266-DB-000162
Group -
IDMS must suppress security-related messages so that no information is returned that can be exploited.
Error messages issued to non-privileged users may have contents that should be considered confidential. IDMS should be configured so that these messages are not issued to those users.Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000266-DB-000162
Group -
Custom database code and associated application code must not contain information beyond what is needed for troubleshooting.
Error codes issued by custom code could provide more information than needed for problem resolution and should be vetted to make sure this does not occur.Rule Medium Severity -

Group -
IDMS must reveal security-related messages only to authorized users.
Error messages issued to non-privileged users may have contents that should be considered confidential. IDMS should be configured so that these messages are not issued to those users.Rule Medium Severity -

Group -
Custom database code and associated application code must reveal detailed error messages only to the Information System Security Officer (ISSO), Information System Security manager (ISSM), Systems Administrator (SA), and Database Administrator (DBA).
Detailed error messages issued by custom or user-written code can possibly give too much detail to the users. This code should be examined to ensure that this does not happen.Rule Medium Severity -

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
