<h1 class="topictitle1">Monitor public authority to objects</h1>
|
|
<div><p>This article describes the SECBATCH menu options and security commands
|
|
that you can use to monitor public authority to objects.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="uicontrol">Public authority</span> is the authority for an object
|
|
granted to all users.</p>
|
|
<p>For both simplicity and performance, most systems are set up so that most
|
|
objects are available to most users. Users are explicitly denied access to
|
|
certain confidential, security-sensitive objects rather than having to be
|
|
explicitly authorized to use every object. A few systems with high security
|
|
requirements take the opposite approach and authorize objects on a need-to-know
|
|
basis. On those systems, most objects are created with the public authority
|
|
set to *EXCLUDE. </p>
|
|
<p>This is an object-based system with many different types of objects. Most
|
|
object types do not contain sensitive information or perform security-relevant
|
|
functions. As a security administrator on a system with typical security needs,
|
|
you probably want to focus your attention on objects that require protection,
|
|
such as database files and programs. For other object types, you can just
|
|
set public authority that is sufficient for your applications, which for most
|
|
object types is *USE authority. </p>
|
|
<p>You can use the Print Public Authority (PRTPUBAUT) command to print information
|
|
about objects that public users can access. (A public user is anyone with
|
|
signon authority who does not have explicit authority to an object.) When
|
|
you use the PRTPUBAUT command, you can specify the object types, and libraries
|
|
or directories, that you want to examine. </p>
|
|
<p>You can use options <kbd class="userinput">11</kbd> or <kbd class="userinput">50</kbd> on
|
|
the SECBATCH menu to print the Publicly Authorized Objects report for the
|
|
object types that might have security implications. Use the general options
|
|
(<kbd class="userinput">18</kbd> and <kbd class="userinput">57</kbd>) to specify the object
|
|
type. You can print the changed version of this report regularly to see what
|
|
objects might require your attention.</p>
