Checklist Summary

This document will define the minimum requirements, standards, controls, options and procedures that have to be in place for the Unisys Executive and standard system software to meet MAC II sensitive compliance as described in the DODI 8500.2. Individual sites may implement additional security measures as deemed necessary. This document applies to all DOD-owned and/or administered Unisys systems controlled by DOD sites, Systems Support Offices (SSOs), and other organizations, hereinafter referred to simply as sites. The requirements set forth in this document are for the Unisys hardware (U2200 mainframes or ClearPath IX enterprise servers) and Executive and Standard system software (all software not written or procured by individual AISs), hereinafter referred to simply as Unisys. Security measures implemented by AISs may augment, but not circumvent, Executive security controls. The security exposures outside the scope just defined (i.e., network infrastructure, personnel security, etc.) are not addressed in this document. This STIG still contains many ALN specific policies, procedures and settings. If a requirement is marked as ALN specific or DISA site specific then it is required only for ALN or DISA sites.

Known Issues

This Unisys STIG presents the known security configuration items, vulnerabilities, and issues required to be addressed by DoD policy. In addition to this STIG, compliance validation tools and checklists are available to .mil and .gov customers to assist in the efforts to implement the required configuration. It must be noted that the guidelines specified should be evaluated in a local, representative test environment before implementation within large user populations. The extensive variety of environments makes it impossible to test these guidelines for all potential software configurations. For some environments, failure to test before implementation will lead to a loss of required functionality. The original target audience for this STIG was DISA facilities using the Access and Location Number (ALN) modification of the standard Unisys software. As a consequence, this STIG still contains many ALN specific policies, procedures and settings.

Target Audience

Developped for the DOD.
The requirements set forth in this document are designed to assist Information Assurance Officers (IAOs) and System Administrators (SAs) in support of protecting DOD network infrastructures and resources. This document assumes that the reader has experience installing and administering the Unisys Executive and Standard system software suite.
