<h1 class="topictitle1">Security considerations for limiting TCP/IP roaming</h1>
<div><p>If your system is connected to a network, you may want to limit
your users ability to roam the network with TCP/IP applications. </p>
<div class="p">One way to do this is to restrict access to the following client TCP/IP
commands:<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> These commands might exist in several libraries on your system.
They are in both the QSYS library and the QTCP library, at a minimum. Be sure
to locate and secure all occurrences.</div>
<ul><li>STRTCPFTP</li>
<li>FTP</li>
<li>STRTCPTELN</li>
<li>TELNET</li>
<li>LPR</li>
<li>SNDTCPSPLF</li>
<li>RUNRMTCMD (REXEC client)</li>
</ul>
Your users possible destinations are determined by the following:<ul><li>Entries in your TCP/IP host table.</li>
<li>*DFTROUTE entry in the TCP/IP route table. This allows users to enter
the IP address of the next-hop system when their destination is an unknown
network. A user can reach or contact a remote network by using the default
route.</li>
<li>Remote name server configuration. This support allows another server in
the network to locate host names for your users.</li>
<li>Remote system table.</li>
</ul>
You need to control who can add entries to these tables and change your
configuration. You also need to understand the implications of your table
entries and your configuration. </div>
<div class="p">Be aware that a knowledgeable user with access to an ILE C compiler can
create a socket program that can attach to a TCP or UDP port. You can make
this more difficult by restricting access to the following sockets interface
files in the QSYSINC library:<ul><li>SYS</li>
<li>NETINET</li>
<li>H</li>
<li>ARPA</li>
<li>Sockets and SSL</li>
</ul>
For service programs, you can restrict use of socket and SSL applications
that are already compiled by restricting use of these service programs:<ul><li>QSOSRV1</li>
<li>QSOSRV2</li>
<li>QSOSKIT(SSL)</li>
<li>QSOSSLSR(SSL)</li>
</ul>
The service programs are shipped with public authority *USE, but the
authority can be changed to *EXCLUDE (or another value as needed).</div>
