V-237920
|
High |
The IBM z/VM TCP/IP VMSSL command operands must be configured properly. |
VMSSL services are initiated using the VMSSL command defined in the DTCPARMS file. Unapproved mechanisms that are used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not verified and therefore cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DoD data may be compromised. |
|
V-237911
|
High |
CA VM:Secure product Password Encryption (PEF) option must be properly configured to store and transmit cryptographically-protected passwords. |
Passwords need to be protected at all times, and encryption is the standard method for protecting passwords. If passwords are not encrypted, they can be plainly read (i.e., clear text) and easily compromised.
