  5. z/OS security architecture • Authenticate users and other accessors • UserID and Password • Digital Certificate • PassTicket • Kerberos Token • Protect resources from unauthorized usage • Access checking and Authorization points imbedded within z/OS • All accesses to all resources checked for user's authority • Link Pack Area (LPA) is write protected even from privileged programs • Address spaces are isolated from each other • Resources • Business data, databases, transaction systems, programs, batch jobs, operator functions, user commands, networks, print facilities, UNIX… zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  6. Introduction • An installation’s data and programs are among its most valuable assets and must be protected • At one time data was secure because no one knew how to access it • As more people become computer literate and able to use simple tools, unprotected data is becoming more accessible • Data security is now more important than ever and includes the prevention of inadvertent destruction zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  7. Why security • Any system security must allow authorized users the access they need and prevent unauthorized access. • Many companies’ critical data is now on computer and is easily stolen if not protected • SecureWay security server provides a framework of services to protect data zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  8. RACF • RACF (part of Security Server) and the other available packages are add-on products which provide the basic security framework on a z/OS mainframe. They: • Identify and authenticate users • Authorize users to access protected resources • Log and report attempted unauthorized access • Control means of access to resources zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  9. RACF functions overview zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  10. Identification and verification of users • RACF uses a user ID and system encrypted password to perform its user identification and verification • The user ID identifies the person to the system • The password verifies the user’s identity • Passwords should not be trivial and exits can be used to enforce policies. zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  11. Protection Levels • RACF works on a hierarchical structure • ALLOC allows data set creation and destruction • CONTROL allows VSAM repro • WRITE allows update of data • READ allows read of data • NONE no access • A higher permission implies all those below zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  12. Protecting a dataset • A data set profile is built and stored in the database • It will give users or groups an access level • A universal access level will also be set • The profile can be specific or generic, with or without wild cards zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  13. RACF typical display INFORMATION FOR DATASET SYS1.*.** (G) LEVEL OWNER UNIVERSAL ACCESS WARNING ERASE ----- -------- --------- ------- -------- ------ 00 SYS1 READ NO NO AUDITING -------- FAILURES(READ) NOTIFY -------- NO USER TO BE NOTIFIED YOUR ACCESS CREATION GROUP DATASET TYPE -------------------- --------------------- ------------- ALTER SYS1 NON-VSAM zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  14. RACF access list for SYS1.*.** ID ACCESS -------- ------- SYS1 ALTER KARRAS ALTER WANDRER ALTER SCHUBER ALTER KURTKR UPDATE KURTKR2 UPDATE KURTKR3 NONE CICSRS1 ALTER CICSRS2 ALTER HEISIG UPDATE JUSTO UPDATE GERALD READ zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  15. Protecting general resources • Many system resources can be protected • DASD volumes • Tapes • CICS or IMS transactions • JES spool datasets • System commands • Application resources and many more • RACF is flexible and more can be added zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  16. System Authorization Facility • SAF is part of z/OS • Uses RACF if it is present • Can also use an optional exit routine • SAF is a system service and is a common focal point for all products providing resource control. • SAF is invoked at control points within the code of the resource manager zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  17. RACF Structure • Userid • Group • Every userid belongs to at least one group • Group structures are often used for access to resources • Resource • Resource classes • Class descriptor table – used to customize zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  18. RACF Functions zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  19. User Identification • RACF identifies you when you logon • Userid and password are required • Each RACF userid has a unique password • Password is one way encrypted so no one else can get your password not even the administrator • Userid is revoked after a preset number of invalid password attempts zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  20. Logging and reporting • RACF maintains statistical information • RACF writes a security log when it detects: • Unauthorized attempts to enter the system • Access to resources • This depends on the settings for the resource • For example AUDIT(ALL(UPDATE) will record all updates to a resource • Issuing of commands zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  21. Security Administration • Interpret the security policy to: • Determine which RACF functions to use • Identify the level of RACF protection • Identify which data to protect • Identify administrative structures and users zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  22. RACF sysplex data sharing and RRSF • If many systems share a RACF database there can be contention problems • RACF will propagate commands throughout a sysplex • RACF can use a coupling facility in a parallel sysplex to improve performance • RRSF can be used to keep distributed RACF databases in line zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  23. Authorized programs • Authorized tasks running authorized programs are allowed to access sensitive system functions • Unauthorized programs may only use standard functions to avoid integrity problems zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  24. Authorized Program Facility zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  25. Authorized Libraries • A task is authorized when the executing program has the following characteristics: • It runs in supervisor state • It runs in PSW key 0 to 7 • All previous programs in the same task were APF programs • The module was loaded from an APF library zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  26. Problem Programs • Normal programs are known as problem programs as they run in problem state (as opposed to supervisor state) • They run in the problem key – 8 • They may or may not be in an APF library zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  27. APF Libraries • Authorized libraries are defined by the APF list in SYS1.PARMLIB • SYS1.LINKLIB, SYS1.SVCLIB and SYS1.LPALIB are automatically authorized • Installation libraries are defined in PROGxx • By default all libraries in the linklist are authorized but many installations set LNKAUTH=APFTAB, often prompted by auditors, so that this is no longer the case and only those in the list are authorized zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  28. Authorizing a program • The first, and only the first, load module of the program must be linked with the authorization code AC=1 • It and all subsequent modules must be loaded from an authorized library • APF libraries must be protected so that only authorized users can store programs there zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  29. Authorizing libraries zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  30. Operator Console Security • Consoles are assigned authority levels in CONSOLxx parmlib member • Commands are grouped: • INFO informational commands • SYS system control commands • IO I/O commands • CONS console control commands • MASTER master console commands • Each console may have one or more levels zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  31. Consoles • At least one console must have master authority • In a sysplex consoles are shared • It is possible to require logon to consoles using RACF • All extended MCS consoles should require a logon zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  32. Security Roles • Systems programmer sets up RACF • Systems administrator implements the policies • Security Manager sets the policies • Separation of duties is required to prevent uncontrolled access zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  33. Alphabet Soup Definitions: RACF: Resource Access Control Facility LDAP : Lightweight Directory Access Protocol DCE : Distributed Computing Environment OCEP: Open Cryptographic Enhanced Plug-ins =>Extensions to Open Cryptographic Services Facility of z/OS Base CDSA : Common Data Security Architecture => Standard API definition for crypto functions, certificate management and storage. Cross-industry. Cross platform. Intel and many vendors. Industry Standard Names zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  34. z/OS security architecture • Authenticate users and other accessors • UserID and Password • Digital Certificate • PassTicket • Kerberos Token • Protect resources from unauthorized usage • Access checking and Authorization points imbedded within z/OS • All accesses to all resources checked for user's authority • Link Pack Area (LPA) is write protected even from privileged programs • Address spaces are isolated from each other • Resources • Business data, databases, transaction systems, programs, batch jobs, operator functions, user commands, networks, print facilities, UNIX, Consoles zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  35. zSeries “Security” Architecture • Hardware storage isolation: helps protect programs from each other • Storage protect keys • Address spaces • Data Spaces • Program execution states: helps protect operating system from unauthorized program actions • Hardware Logical Partitions (LPAR): allows multiple operating system images within one processor box • A complete, isolated, operating system image space zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  36. Basics of z/OS Security zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  37. z/OS Security • z/OS provides more security features than most people realize. • You can run a firewall on z/OS (if you wanted to) • PKI services are fully supported (you can create a digital certificate if you wanted to) • Kerberos can be used as an authentication server. • LDAP server and client are supported. • There is a security server called RACF (Resource Access Control Facility) • There is thread level access support and more… zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  38. z/OS …and more • SSL is supported… • IBM has a communication server a.k.a TCP/IP that is honestly probably the best overall TCP implementation in the industry. • From a security standpoint • Dynamic VPN, IPSec, and VIPA are supported. • Supports cross platform identity mapping • Called EIM – Enterprise Identity Mapping • MLS – Multi-Level Security • RACF Controls Unix Super User functions zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  39. RACF the Security Server • RACF is used for the basic identification, authentication, access and audit control functions. • It is more than that, but hold on for a bit… • With RACF you can do at least the following: • Local or remote security administration • User identification and authentication • Resource authorization checking and system access control • Audit reports and integrity reports • Violation reporting zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  40. RACF has changed brand names • It confuses me what is what… • It started out as RACF • Went to OS/390 Security Server • Then morphed to SecureWay Security Server for OS/390 • Now it might SecureWay Security Server for z/OS (RACF) • To me it is RACF… zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  41. RACF User Identification & Authentication for USS • z/OS UNIX user identification • RACF user profile with OMVS segment • RACF group profile with OMVS segment • no /etc/passwd file • User authentication • RACF password • RACF PassTicket • z/OS UNIX logon • TSO • r_login, telnet zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  42. From Resource Managers to RACF and back for USS zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  43. RACF Control of Superuser Functions • Better security through RACF control instead of superuser authority • BPX.FILEATTR.* • Less need for superuser authority through RACF control • Class UNIXPRIV • Improved accountability by switching into superuser mode only when needed • BPX.SUPERUSER • also used by SMP/E zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  44. RACF Control of User Identity Changes • BPX.DAEMON • Ability to validate and assume RACF identities • Dæmon programs can only change identity if authorized • BPX.SERVER • Surrogate assignment for POSIX threads • Daemons can create threads with surrogate Userids if authorized: • UPDATE: client needs access authority to MVS resources • READ: client and server both need access authority zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  45. Protection of Daemons Against Modification and Misuse • Dæmon programs typically run with UID 0 (Superuser) • Switch Userids (UIDs) or authenticate user identities • Open TCP/IP ports below 1024 • Invoke system commands of functions • If code can be modified or modules can be replaced, daemons can be misused • Modules are loaded from MVS search order (STEPLIB, LPA, LNKLSTxx, ...) if sticky bit is set in HFS executable • Critical functions can only be performed if program environment is controlled: • Modules loaded from library defined with RACF Program Control • Modules loaded from HFS files with PROGCTL attribute set zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  46. More Secure than UNIX - USS • BPX.DAEMON - restricts the use of sensitive services • BPX.DEBUG - allows debugging of authorized programs • BPX.FILEATTR.APF - controls marking files authorized • BPX.FILEATTR.PROGCTL - controls marking files program controlled • BPX.SERVER - restricts the use of sensitive services • BPX.SMF - allows the writing of SMF records • BPX.STOR.SWAP - controls making address spaces non-swappable • BPX.WLMSERVER - controls access to WLM interface • BPX.SAFFASTPATH - improves performance but prevents auditing of successful events zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  47. UNIXPRIV Resource Names zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  48. UNIXPRIV for Mount and Quiesce • Mount and Quiesce File Systems • SUPERUSER.FILESYS.MOUNT • READ : Mount or unmount file system with nosetuid attribute • UPDATE : Mount or unmount file system with setuid attribute • SUPERUSER.FILESYS.QUIESCE • READ : Quiesce or unquiesce a file system mounted with nosetuid • UPDATE : Quiesce or unquiesce a file system mounted with setuid zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS

  49. UNIXPRIV for other file actions • SUPERUSER.FILESYS.CHOWN • READ : Use chown to change owner of any file • SUPERUSER.FILESYS.PFSCTL • READ : Allows use of the pfsctl() service • SUPERUSER.FILESYS.VREGISTER • READ : Allows use of vreg() service to register as a VFS file server zCPO zClass Introduction to z/OS
