Fix Text (F-27504r1_fix)
The IAO will ensure that update and allocate access to IBM Integrated Crypto Service Facility (ICSF) install data sets is limited to System Programmers only, and all update and allocate access is logged. Read access can be given to Auditors and any other users that have a valid requirement to utilize these data sets. The installing Systems Programmer will identify and document the product data sets and categorize them according to who will have update and alter access and if required that all update and allocate access is logged. He will identify if any additional groups have update access for specific data sets, and once documented he will work with the IAO to see that they are properly restricted to the ACP (Access Control Program) active on the system. Data sets to be protected will be: SYS1.CSF The following commands are provided as a sample for implementing data set controls: $KEY(SYS1) CSF.- UID(syspaudt) R(A) W(L) A(L) E(A) CSF.- UID(tstcaudt) R(A) W(L) A(L) E(A) CSF.- UID(icsfusrs) R(A) E(A)
