Vulnerability discussion

Auditing must be utilized in order to track system activity, assist in diagnosing system issues and provide evidence needed for forensic investigations post security incident. Remote access by administrators requires that the admin activity be audited. Application servers provide a web- and command line-based remote management capability for managing the application server. Application servers must ensure that all actions related to administrative functionality such as application server configuration are logged.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
