controls::secure sqladm authority
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 SQLADM authority is required to monitor, tune, and alter SQL statements.
Rationale
The SQLADM authority can CREATE, SET, FLUSH, DROP EVENT MONITORS and perform RUNSTATS and REORG INDEXES and TABLES. SQLADM can be granted to users, groups, or roles or PUBLIC. SQLADM authority is a subset of the DBADM authority and can be granted by the SECADM authority.
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::secure_sqladm_authority: skip to your hiera data. This will skip this control for ALL systems.
3) Add an entry with the content secure_sqladm_authority 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 7.7
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.
