Check content

Log on to the OS of the JBoss server with OS permissions that allow access to JBoss. Using the relevant OS commands and syntax, cd to the /bin/ folder. Run the jboss-cli script to start the Command Line Interface (CLI). Connect to the server and authenticate. Run the command: For a Managed Domain configuration: "ls host=master/server//core-service=management/access=audit/logger=audit-log:write-attribute(name=enabled,value=true)" For a Standalone configuration: "ls /core-service=management/access=audit/logger=audit-log:write-attribute(name=enabled,value=true)" If "enabled" = false, this is a finding.

Fix text

Launch the jboss-cli management interface. Connect to the server by typing "connect", authenticate as a user in the Superuser role and run the following command: For a Managed Domain configuration: "host=master/server//core-service=management/access=audit/logger=audit-log:write-attribute(name=enabled,value=true)" For a Standalone configuration: "/core-service=management/access=audit/logger=audit-log:write-attribute(name=enabled,value=true)"

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.
