Benefits of DB2

• Non-Navigational

• Set at a time processing

• Shared Data

• DBMS manages the data

• Standardization of entity / attribute names

• Recoverability

• SQL

• Ease of access



What Should be Protected?


Data setsDatabase

BufferpoolCollectionPackage

PlanTable Space

Storagegroup

TableIndexView

Recognizing Users

DB2 uses identifiers to control access to data

• Three types of identifiers

– Primary authorization ID

– Secondary authorization ID

– SQL ID


Set Current SQLID


SET CURRENT SQLID = IDNAME

SQLID IDNAME

Gaining Access to Data


TBL_CUST

TBL_ORDR

DATA

Privilege:

Controlled by explicit granting and revoking

Ownership:

Controlled by privileges needed to create

objects

Plan and Package

Execution:

Controlled by privilege to execute

User BOBS needs to insert rows in table

TBL_CUST

User JIMM is owner of table TBL_ORDR

User JOHNH needs to execute plan TBL

Controlling Access to DB2 Objects

• Ownership

• Privileges

• Administrative Authorities


Ownership of DB2 Objects

• Created with SQL CREATE statement

• Name and ownership established when object

created

• Names can be:

– Unqualified

– Qualified

• Name qualification determines ownership processing

CICS / DB2 Resource Definitions

Security improvement for DB2 users:

• The CICS interface with DB2 will provide additional function

when using DB2 and RACF. CICS can be configured to pass

the address of its region user ID Access Control Environment

Element (ACEE) to simplify the recommended migration from

DB2 internal security to using RACF.

• If the ID you specify in SIGNID() matches the CICS region

user ID, and you specify AUTHTYPE(SIGN) for any

command, pool or entry threads, the RACF access control

environment element (ACEE) for the CICS region user ID is

passed to DB2 in CICS TS 4.1 and later.

Steps To Implement DSNX@XAC Exit

1. Obtain the RACF Access Control Module – From prefix.SDSNSAMP(DSNXRXAC) – starting with DB2 V8

2. Copy to a private library with name of DSNX@XAC3. Specify the exit options (optional)

– &CLASSOPT– &CLASSNMT– &CHAROPT– &ERROROPT

4. Define DB2 classes in CDT (if exit modified)5. Define RACF profiles - RDEFINE, RALTER, PERMIT6. Activate the DB2 classes7. Assemble and link edit the sample exit

– Modify JEX0003 step of DB2 install job– Run JEX0003 job

8. Start DB2


Single or Multi-subsystem Scope?

• Multi-Subsystem Scope Classes– Default

– First qualifier is DB2 subsystem name

– No changes to CDT

• Single Subsystem Scope Classes– Optional

– DB2 subsystem name not in profile

– Add classes to CDT

How and What and Where DB2 Caches

• Successful access to objects

– Plans, Packages, or Routines (user-defined functions and

stored procedures)

– The cache entry is very specific

• JIMM has EXECUTE on plan WXYZ

• BOBS has EXECUTE on plan ABCD

– DB2 does NOT cache HOW you got the access

• User has DBADM or SYSADM

• Cache updated no matter how the access was

granted

– DBADM, SYSADM, or explicit

• Internal to DB2

– The RACF exit is not called if there is a hit in the cache


To ADD an Access Permission

• Do a RACF PERMIT command

– PE DB2P.ABCD.EXECUTE CL(MDSNPN) ID(TSJH01)

AC(READ)

– NOTE: since the class is globally RACLISTED, no

Warning message to RACLIST refresh is issued

• Issue SETR refresh command

– SETR RACLIST(MDSNPN) REFRESH

– If NOT in SYSPLEX communications mode, do on all

LPARS

• Change will take effect as soon as the refresh is

done


To REMOVE an Access Permission

This gets VERY tricky!!

• Assume– TSJH01 was permitted EXECUTE to Plan ABCD

– TSJH01 has actually executed the plan since DB2 was last started

• Issue RACF permit delete command and refresh– PE DB2P.ABCD.EXECUTE CL(MDSNPN) ID(TSJH01)

DELETE

– SETR RACLIST(MDSNPN) REFRESH

• TSJH01 will still be able to execute the PLAN!– You will have to issue internal DB2 GRANT and REVOKE

commands to flush the cache

– Each REVOKE will only flush that explicit entry in the Cache


Enhanced Cache Management - DB2 V11

• The AUTHEXIT_CACHEREFRESH subsystem

parameter specifies whether the cache entries are to

be refreshed.

• The cache entries are refreshed only when the

access control authorization exit (DSNX@XAC) is

active.

• The resource class must have SIGNAL=YES

defined in the CDT.

• SETR RACLIST(MDSNPN) REFRESH will refresh

the cache.



Migrating from DB2 to RACF Security


RACF/DB2Migration Utility

How can I convert fromDB2 security to RACF security?

Let’s use the DB2 to RACF Migration Utility!

Running the RACFDB2 Utility

• Download the RACF to DB2 utility via WWW or FTP

• Specify values for

– DB2 subsystem name

– Owner of profiles

– Class name root

– Single subsystem or multi-subsystem

– Last character of classname

• User who runs tool must have SELECT privilege on

the SYSIBM.SYSxxxAUTH tables


Migration to RACF Security

• RACF commands are generated for 9 of the 16 DB2

Object types, and DB2 Authorities

• Not all DB2 Object types are handled:

– Global Variables

– Java Archive files (JARs)

– Schemas

– Sequences

– Stored Procedures

– User Defined Distinct Types

– User Defined Functions

• Privileges higher than SELECT to a VIEW not

processed correctly


Profiles Generated by RACFDB2 Utility

• Builds RDEFINE commands for all objects, privileges and

authorities

• AUDIT(ALL(READ)) is set for DB2 administrative authorities

• UACC is set to READ if granted to PUBLIC

• PERMIT with ACCESS(READ) if authorized without GRANT

• PERMIT with ACCESS(ALTER) if authorized with GRANT

• All profiles are defined in member classes


Executing the Commands Generated

• Consider replacing many discrete profiles!– Use generic profiles?

– Use some grouping profiles?

– Use RACFVARS variable?

• Execute the generated RACF commands

• Customize the DSNX@XAC exit

• Activate the DB2 general resource classes

• Activate the DSNX@XAC exit

• Administer DB2 security with RACF


Considerations

• Any tools that use the security tables in DB2 catalog?

• There are some differences between DB2 and RACF security

– See DB2 UDB RACF Access Control Module Guide

– PUBLIC*

– Implicit privileges of ownership

– DROP and ALTER Index

– CREATETMTAB privilege

– CREATE VIEW privilege

– “Any table” privilege

– WITH GRANT OPTION



Benefits of RACF Security for DB2

• Provides a single point of control for RACF and DB2 security administration

• RACF models DB2 security privileges and administrative authorities

• Provides flexibility for multiple DB2 subsystems with a single set of RACF profiles

• Security rules are independent of DB2 objects

– Can define RACF profiles before object is created

– RACF profiles continue to exist after object is dropped

– Allows you to validate a user ID before giving it access to a DB2 object


Cascading Revokes

• WITH GRANT OPTION

• Cascading revokes also affect objects owned by users.

When a user is deleted from DB2, resources and

authorizations to use them are deleted as well.


Benefits of RACF Security for DB2

• No cascading revoke

• Protect multiple objects via generics, grouping

profiles, and RACFVARS

• One or several sets of general resource classes

• Conversion utility to assist implementation

• Can implement in phases by type of DB2 object
