Rule version RACF-FT-000010 · STIG v9 · 2026-09-01

Discussion

The FTP Server can provide audit data in the form of SMF records. The SMF data produced by the FTP Server provides transaction information for both successful and unsuccessful FTP commands. Failure to collect and retain audit data may contribute to the loss of accountability and hamper security audit activities.

Check

If FTPDATA is configured with the following SMF statements, this is not a finding.

FTP.DATA Configuration Statements SMF TYPE119 SMFJES TYPE119 SMFSQL TYPE119 SMFAPPE [Not coded or commented out] SMFDEL [Not coded or commented out] SMFEXIT [Not coded or commented out] SMFLOGN [Not coded or commented out] SMFREN [Not coded or commented out] SMFRETR [Not coded or commented out] SMFSTOR [Not coded or commented out]

Fix

Configure SMF options to conform to the specifications in the FTPDATA Configuration Statements below:

SMF TYPE119 SMFJES TYPE119 SMFSQL TYPE119 SMFAPPE [Not coded or commented out] SMFDEL [Not coded or commented out] SMFEXIT [Not coded or commented out] SMFLOGN [Not coded or commented out] SMFREN [Not coded or commented out] SMFRETR [Not coded or commented out] SMFSTOR [Not coded or commented out]

The FTP Server can provide audit data in the form of SMF records. SMF record type 119, the TCP/IP Statistics record, can be written with the following subtypes:

70 - Append 70 - Delete and Multiple Delete 72 - Invalid Logon Attempt 70 - Rename 70 - Get (Retrieve) and Multiple Get 70 - Put (Store and Store Unique) and Multiple Put

SMF data produced by the FTP Server provides transaction information for both successful and unsuccessful FTP commands. This data may provide valuable information for security audit activities. Type 119 records use a more standard format and provide more information.
