(in versions v6 r8 through v6 r7)
Title
BMC Mainview for z/OS Started Task name is not properly identified and/or defined to the system ACP. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
BMC Mainview for z/OS requires a started task that will be restricted to certain resources, datasets and other system functions. By defining the started task as a userid to the system ACP, It allows the ACP to control the access and authorized users that require these capabilities. Failure to properly control these capabilities, could compromise of the operating system environment, ACP, and customer data.

Fix Text
The BMC Mainview for z/OS system programmer and the IAO will ensure that a product's Started Task(s) is properly identified and/or defined to the System ACP. If the product requires a Started Task, verify that it is properly defined to the System ACP with the proper attributes. Most installation manuals will indicate how the Started Task is identified and any additional attributes that must be specified. A sample is provided here: TSS CREATE(MV$CAS) TYPE(USER) - NAME('CAS, BMC Mainview for z/OS') DEPT(xxxx) - FAC(STC,BBI3) - MASTFAC(BBI3) PASS(xxxxxxxx,0) - SOURCE(INTRDR) NOSUSPEND TSS CREATE(MV$PAS) TYPE(USER) - NAME('PAS, BMC Mainview for z/OS') DEPT(xxxx) - FAC(STC,BBI3) - MASTFAC(BBI3) PASS(xxxxxxxx,0) - SOURCE(INTRDR) NOSUSPEND TSS CREATE(MV$MVS) TYPE(USER) - NAME('MVS, BMC Mainview for z/OS') DEPT(xxxx) - FAC(STC,BBI3) - PASS(xxxxxxxx,0) - SOURCE(INTRDR) NOSUSPEND
