controls::secure the permission of the sslconfig ini file
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 SSLconfig.ini file contains the SSL configuration parameters for the DB2 instance, including the password for KeyStore.
Rationale
Recommended value is full access to DB2 administrators only, read and write access only to members of the SYSADM group, and no access to other users. This will ensure that the parameter file is protected.
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_the_permission_of_the_sslconfig_ini_file: skip to your hiera data. This will skip this control for ALL systems.
3) Add an entry with the content secure_the_permission_of_the_sslconfig_ini_file 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 9.7
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.
