1. Introduction to Enhanced Security
2. Implementing a Security Model
3. Auditing and Reporting
4. IFM Security Information
5. iSeries Profile and Object Authorities
6. Prerequisites
Agenda
Why is it necessary?• Auditor Requirements
• Documented security policy and procedures • Formal approval for user rights• Regular auditing and monitoring • Protect investors, employees, community
• CAS Security• Difficult to determine how user has access to tasks• No auditing capability • Risk to productivity when changes are made
• iSeries Security• Many factors affect user access to system and objects• No central management tool
Enhanced Security for XA
ES can help
• Add-on application written using Integrator • Implemented by environment• XA components:
• Security Modeling and Planning • Routine Auditing and Reporting• View Current User Rights
• iSeries components:• User Profile auditing• Object Authority auditing
Enhanced Security for XA
Power and Flexibility of the XA Client architecture:– Create views and subsets– Export to Excel
Add-on Application using Integrator
• Install in each environment• Includes all CAS tasks (if assigned to an area)• Includes IFM Application tasks (in base features only)• Auditing for each environment including IFM task security
Implemented by environment
• Security Model - Create and finalize a new security model• Security Audits - Track changes to security • Current Environment - View current security configuration
and user rights in the environment
Enhanced Security Application Card
• Provides for implementation of new plan– Import users, groups, areas, and tasks from CAS files– Decide what you want to lock– Create groups and authorize to tasks– Assign users to groups– View current and planned user rights
• Optional component
Note: this is all done in the model – not the live environment
Security Modeling and Planning
• Import from the current environment:– Users– Groups– Areas and tasks – Group Authorities– Private Authorities
You don’t have
to start from scratch!
1. Import Security Components
• Subsets– Unlocked– Application– Type
• Mass Change• Model Template
It’s Easy!
2. Decide what you want to lock
• Subsets• Views• Mass Change• R7
– Quick Change– Append subsets
• Model Template
Piece of Cake!
3. Create groups & authorize to tasks
• Validation• Subsets
– User Groups– Group members
• Templates • Return-to-create
Your model
is almost ready!
4. Assign users to groups
Current and planned rights
A. User being reviewed
B. Tasks the user is granted
C. How access was granted• Private (user id)
• Group (group id)
• Not locked (blank)
A BC
5. View user rights
• Compare planned versus current rights– View tasks user will no longer have access to– View tasks user could not do before (for approval)– Final Adjustments to the model
• Export files to a test environment for user testing – Included with modeling option– Handles security validation stamps
Benefits– Reduce risk of affecting user productivity at go live– Resolve issues quickly after plan is implemented
Advanced Analysis and Testing
Rights Revoked:
If users need any of these rights to do their jobs, they will be adversely affected when the plan is implemented.
Enhanced Security lets you make sure this won’t happen.
Advanced Analysis
Rights Granted:
SOX requires that all access be reviewed by authorizing manager.
With Enhanced Security, you can
export user rights to standard forms for
management approval.
Advanced Analysis
We can use Integrator to build approvals right in to the application!!!
Testing is critical to ensure users are not affected by the new plan.
• Users from every group
• Formal test plan
Enhanced Security provides an export process for moving user rights from the model to an XA environment on the same or different iSeries.
• Validation stamps generated
• No re-keying
Testing
Auditors require regular review of changes to security authorizations
Enhanced Security provides:• Detailed Transaction History• Security Change Audit• Violations to Segregation of
Duties• Regular Audit Reports
Security Auditing and Reporting
• Start Auditing– Saves an image of environment security files– Journals are activated on the files– Changes in user rights are extracted from the journals
Routine Auditing and Reporting
• Determine how a user has gained access to a task• Quickly identify the area(s) where changes need to be made• Customize views, subsets, and sorts• View or Host Print
Detailed Transaction History
• Net Changes only (since last run)• Navigate to Detailed Transactions that resulted in the change• View or Print Report
Security Change Audits
Schedule regular Auditor reports
Set Audit Options
Regular Reporting – Scheduled Job
Summarize authority granted to users for the reporting period
• From last run date (monthly changes)
Security Audit Report
Users who have authority for tasks that auditors define as conflict of interest, for example:
• Create a purchase order
• Generate an AP check
Security Audit ReportsHigh-Risk Authority Conflicts
IFM Security
• View and Print• IFM Users• IFM Applications• User Authority to Applications• IFM Application Tasks• User Defaults• User rights to IFM Tasks are shown with CAS
application tasks so you can see everything the user can do
IFM SecurityUser Authorities to IFM Applications
IFM SecurityIFM Application Tasks
IFM SecurityIFM User Defaults
All user rights to CAS and IFM Tasks in one place
View user rights
iSeries Security
• User Profiles – view and print• Power Users• Logon Statistics• Password Info• Groups and group membership• Startup Information
iSeries SecurityiSeries User Profiles – Special Authorities
iSeries SecurityiSeries User Profiles – Password Information
iSeries Security
• Object Authorities – view and print• All objects – all libraries• User rights – display/maintain• XA objects not owned by AMAPICS
iSeries SecurityiSeries Object Authorities
• Integrator (R6 or R7)– R6 requires new business objects created at installation
• OS V5R3 or higher
• All functions to be secured must be set up in CAS as tasks and assigned to an area
Prerequisites
New Feature
• Database File Audit • File being corrupted or changed outside of XA• You need to know who and how it’s done• Turn on auditing for the file
• Starts journaling if not already• Extracts information • View who made changes to the file and if they
used outside tools to do it (SQL, DFU, and others)
