IBM CSSMTP Started Task name is not properly identified and/or defined to the system ACP. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
IBM CSSMTP 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.
