Description
Access to product resources should be restricted to only those individuals responsible for the application connectivity and who have a requirement to access these resources. Improper control of product resources could potentially compromise the operating system, Access Control Program (ACP), and customer data.

The IBM CSSMTP system programmer and the ISSO will ensure that a product's started task(s) is (are) properly identified and/or defined to the System ACP. A unique ACID must be assigned for the IBM CSSMTP started task(s) thru a corresponding STC table entry. The following sample set of commands is shown here as a guideline: TSS ADD(STC) PROCNAME(CSSMTP) ACID(CSSMTP)
