IBM Passtickets must be configured to be KeyEncrypted.

Rule version RACF-ES-000860 · STIG v9 · 2026-09-01

Discussion

Passwords such as IBM Passtickets need to be protected at all times, and encryption is the standard method for protecting such passwords. If passwords are not encrypted, they may be plainly read (i.e., clear text) and easily compromised.

Check

From the ISPF Command Shell enter:

RList PTKTDATA * SSIGNON NORACF

If any profile is not defined as KEYENCRYPTED, this is a finding.

Fix

Ensure that all Passticket profiles are configured to be KeyEncrypted.
