Error description
With OA47269 & OA49446 applied, authority is checked for a PATH, or AIX that is being defined. However, authority is not checked for the base cluster. This can lead to authorization failues once a base cluster is accessed via a PATH or AIX by a user or application that has authority to the PATH & AIX, but not the base cluster.
Local fix
Avoid defining aliases for unauthorized data sets.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: z/OS users at release HDZ1D10 or higher * * that have VSAM CLUSTERs with either * * Alternate Indexes (AIXs) or PATHs. * * Changes to RACF authority during DEFINE when * * using facility class * * STGADMIN.IGG.CATALOG.SECURITY.BOTH * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Alternate Indexes (AIXs) can be defined * * to a CLUSTER to which the user has no * * RACF authority. Subsequent attempts to * * OPEN the CLUSTER can cause OPEN * * failures to the CLUSTER due to * * insufficient RACF authority to the AIX * * when the AIX has UPGRADE specified and * * the user is not authorized to the AIX, * * but is authorized to the CLUSTER. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** A new facility class STGADMIN.IGG.CATALOG.SECURIY.BOTHis introduced. Users having READ authority to STGADMIN.IGG.CATALOG.SECURIY.BOTH are required to have ALTER authority to both the CLUSTER and the PATH or AIX when defining a path or AIX. This ensure sufficient authority to both the CLUSTER and AIX or PATH on subsequent VSAM OPENs.
Problem conclusion
Problem is resolved when PTFs are applied and READ authority is established to STGADMIN.IGG.CATALOG.SECURIY.BOTH for all users.
