controls::restrict access to sysibm syssecuritypolicies
Overview
Puppet controls are Puppet defined types that ensure a certain security control is implemented. Puppet changes the system in order to make the system compliant.
Description of the control
The SYSIBM.SYSSECURITYPOLICIES table contains all database security policies. It is recommended that the PUBLIC role be restricted from accessing this table.
Rationale
PUBLIC should not be able to view all the database security policies.
Skipping
To deliberately skip this control (e.g. meaning don’t use Puppet to enforce this setting), we provide you with two ways:
1) Add db2_secured::controls::restrict_access_to_sysibm_syssecuritypolicies: skip to your hiera data. This will skip this control for ALL systems.
3) Add an entry with the content restrict_access_to_sysibm_syssecuritypolicies to the array value db2_secured::skip_list in your hiera data.
Benchmarks
This control is used in the following benchmarks:
- db11 CIS V1.0.0 - paragraph 4.3.31
Attributes

title
The database identifier to apply the control to.
All controls need an database identifier to apply the control to. Here is a simple example:
db2_secured::controls::control_name { 'db2inst1/MYDB':}
In this example, the string dbinst1 is the instance, the string MYDB is the database to apply the control to.
