JUNI-ND-000250_rule The Juniper router must be configured to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to logon with access privileges occur.

Vulnerability discussion

Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter).

Check content

Review the router configuration to verify that it is compliant with this requirement. The configuration example below will log all logon attempts. syslog { file LOG_FILE { authorization info; } } Note: The parameter "any" can be in place of "authorization" as this will log everything. Also, a syslog server can be configured in addition to or in lieu of logging to a file as shown in the example below. system { syslog { host 10.1.58.2 { any info; } } } If the router is not configured to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to logon, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the router to log all logon attempts as shown in the example below. [edit system] set syslog file LOG_FILE authorization info Note: The parameter "any" can be in place of "authorization" as this will log everything. Also, a syslog server can be configured in addition to or in lieu of logging to a file as shown in the example below. set syslog host 10.1.58.2 any info

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.
