controls::review role grantees with with admin option

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

Using the WITH ADMIN OPTION clause of the GRANT (Role) SQL statement, the security administrator can delegate the management and control of membership in a role to someone else.

Rationale

The WITH ADMIN OPTION clause gives another user the authority to grant membership in the role to other users, to revoke membership in the role from other members of the role, and to comment on a role, but not to drop the role.

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::review_role_grantees_with_with_admin_option: skip to your hiera data. This will skip this control for ALL systems.
3) Add an entry with the content review_role_grantees_with_with_admin_option to the array value db2_secured::skip_list in your hiera data.

Benchmarks

This control is used in the following benchmarks:

• db10 CIS V1.1.0 - paragraph 8.5

Attributes

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.
