Secure WLMADM Authority
MediumLevel 1Manual reviewdb2
Description
The WLMADM authority manages workload objects for a database. Holders of DBADM authority implicitly also hold WLMADM authority.
How it is checked
Audit method: Manual review
This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.
1. Run the following command: db2 => select distinct grantee, granteetype from syscat.dbauth where wlmadmauth = 'Y' 2. Determine if the grantee(s) are correctly set.
How it is fixed
Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch
Revoke any user who should NOT have WLMADM authority: db2 => REVOKE WLMADM ON DATABASE FROM USER <username>
