Description
Access control policies include: identity-based policies, role-based policies, and attribute-based policies. Access enforcement mechanisms include: access control lists, access control matrices, and cryptography. These policies and mechanisms must be employed by the application to control access between users (or processes acting on behalf of users) and objects (e.g., devices, files, records, processes, programs, and domains) in the information system.

Refer to SYS1.PARMLIB (JES2PARM) For each node entry If all JES2 defined NJE nodes and RJE workstations have a profile defined in the FACILITY resource class, this is not a finding. Notes: Nodename is the NAME parameter value specified on the NODE statement. Review the JES2 parameters for NJE node definitions by searching for NODE( in the report. Workstation is RMTnnnn, where nnnn is the number on the RMT statement. Review the JES2 parameters for RJE workstation definitions by searching for RMT( in the report. NJE.* and RJE.* profiles will force userid and password protection of all NJE and RJE connections respectively. This method is acceptable in lieu of using discrete profiles.
