If no procedures exist in accordance with the STIG requirements to utilize the logonid with the REFRESH attribute to refresh ACF2 global options, this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
Review security procedures for defining LOGONIDs and develop documentation of requirements for the LOGONID associated with the REFRESH attribute.
Example of a suggested procedure follows:
When the ISSO determines it necessary to refresh the ACF2 global options, the ISSO will do the following:
-Activate the required REFRESH ID with the following setting(s):
