Secure remote connections by using TCP/IP Network Access control with the RACF SERVAUTH class

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.Review your TCP/IP profile data set for the NETACCESS statement definition and determine if the security zones are defined correctly. You can use the NETSTAT CONFIG (TSO) or netstat -x f (USS) command to display the current TCP/IP configuration, including the NETACCESS rules. Both of the commands in the example below display the current configuration for the TCP/IP stack named TCPIP2: (TSO) NETSTAT CONFIG TCP TCPIP2 (USS) netstat -f -p tcpip2 2.Issue the RACF RLIST command to display the list of users or groups that have access to the corresponding ... (full steps: CIS section 2.1.5)

How it is fixed

Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch

1. Configure the TCP/IP network access control by using the NETACCESS statement in your TCP/IP profile. 2. Permit users access to the corresponding profile for the TCP network security zone access in the RACF SERVAUTH class based on the rules of your organization.
