Vulnerability discussion

After a security incident has occurred, investigators will often review log files to determine when events occurred. Understanding the precise sequence of events is critical for investigation of a suspicious event.As a Tomcat derivative, tc Server can be configured with an AccessLogValve. A Valve element represents a component that can be inserted into the request processing pipeline. The pattern attribute of the AccessLogValve controls which data gets logged. The %t parameter specifies that the system time should be recorded.

Check content

At the command prompt, execute the following command: tail /storage/log/vmware/vco/app-server/localhost_access_log.txt If the time and date of events are not being recorded, this is a finding.

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.
