Re: [Bulk] program authority audit.

Hi, Rob:

As I recall, a few years ago, you wrote a tool to check "observability" of program objects, in preparation for the upgrade from V5Rx to V6R1 with mandatory re-encapsulation, etc. -- if you still have source code for that tool, you should be able to "re-purpose" that to check for this information.

HTH,

Evaluating "program only access". This will allow only programs to modify

In my understanding all this takes is some program near the top of the
chain to have USRPRF(*OWNER) and for all other programs in the chain to
have USEADPAUT(*YES).
For example, in an Infor shop you might have BPCSMENU owned by SSA and set
to USRPRF(*OWNER). Infor does a fine job of using USEADPAUT(*YES) on all
of their remaining programs.

So some user may have *USE to BPCSMENU. They could call that and then run
Infor (providing their Infor security is set up right) to their hearts
content. However, even if they did have have access to a command line,
"Run SQL Scripts", etc they would not be able to use sql or anything to
modify the data. If the data is *PUBLIC *EXCLUDE or some such thing.

I realize that this has no bearing on stream file data and that has to be
handled with profile handles.

Now, I'd like to ensure that there are no programs that were modified to
have USEADPAUT(*NO).
Doesn't seem to be a DSPPGM MYLIB/*ALL capability to an outfile.

There's no such SQL service, is there?

There's no IBM supplied security audit, is there?

Am I down to a list api, and a program API or two, to perform this audit?
