Enhancements to ACEECHK

Add clarification to IRR421I messages and granularity to the Failure option to allow for a more gradual implementation rather than a sledgehammer approach.

This would benefit RACF Administrators gradually rolling out the failure option and help RACF Monitoring teams quickly identify issues for investigation.

    RACF's ACEE modification detection support is not intended to provide the granular control as requested in the RFE. The intent is to allow an organization to detect programs that may not comply with security policy. In some cases, the application in question may have an alternate configuration option to grant the application the correct authority. In other cases, an exception must be created to allow the application to function without triggering the IRR421I message. The exceptions can be scoped on a per-user basis to restrict who may run programs that alter the ACEE.

    Some organizations have a zero-tolerance policy for programs that modify the ACEE. Those organizations can set the IRR.ABEND.ON.FAILURE profile, after a monitoring period where all applications that trigger the IRR421I warning are addressed one way or another.

    RACFs program control feature should be used to allow or deny specific users the ability to execute certain programs in a manner similar to what is requested in the RFE.
