Hi, we are on LS9 and came across an issue where an ESS employee can view another employee’s personal information through a servlet call. The employee uses a debugging tool to get the URL then substitute their employee ID with someone else’s. We’ve tried to lock down all the HR, PA, PR, etc. related tables and forms with conditional rules. But we are still able to return sensitive data using the servlet call.

Tried with this rule:
if(user.getCompany()==table.COMPANY&&user.getEmployeeId()==form.EMP_EMPLOYEE)
'A,M,D,'
else
'ALL_ACCESS,'

Then tried with this rule:
if(trim(table.EMPLOYEE)==user.getEmployeeId())
'A,C, D, I,'
else
'NO_ACCESS,'

The only form that seems to be working with the second rule is for PA67, no other forms or tables seem to be working. Has anyone experience this? Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi Lien. I'm assuming you have fired the (devious) employee using a debugging tool!

I notice that you have mixed table.COMPANY and form.EMP_EMPLOYEE -- was that intentional?

Hi John, I actually got this from one of the postings and wanted to try it. At this point...I am lost :-(

Your first rule will give either "A,M,D" access or "ALL ACCESS", so it's no good.

Try something like this under "files" / "HR" / "EMPLOYEE/PAEMPLOYEE" table

if(user.getCompany()==lztrim(table.COMPANY)&&user.getEmployeeId()==lztrim(table.EMPLOYEE))
'ALL_ACCESS'
else
'NO_ACCESS'

You probably have another class/role that is overruling this one. I'm assuming you aren't actually testing as that user, but rather as a test user assigned to the same roles. Easiest way to trouble shoot is to turn on debug for that test user and then look at lase logs, which will show which rule granted access.

Also, what is the specific servlet call that is used?=

Yes, I am testing on DEV. Here is the servlet call

https://servername/servle...ET1&SELECT=EMPLOYEE=

&OUT=XML%20HTTP/1.1

You would need to add the rule that was added for EMPLOYEE/PAEMPLOYEE to apply to all tables you want to protect, including PRRATEHIST.

Yes, I added the rule to all the forms that we wanted to protect and all tables like BENEFICRY, BENEFIT, EMPLOYEE, HRDEPBEN, PAEMPLOYEE, PRRATEHIST, TAEMPTRANS, etc. I will turn on the debug and see if I see anything.
