Vulnerability discussion

Protecting access authorization information (i.e., access control decisions) ensures that authorization information cannot be altered, spoofed, or otherwise compromised during transmission.In distributed information systems, authorization processes and access control decisions may occur in separate parts of the systems. In such instances, authorization information is transmitted securely so timely access control decisions can be enforced at the appropriate locations. To support the access control decisions, it may be necessary to transmit, as part of the access authorization information, supporting security attributes. This is because, in distributed information systems, there are various access control decisions that need to be made, and different entities (e.g., services) make these decisions in a serial fashion, each requiring some security attributes to make the decisions.

Check content

Verify that the LDAP authentication server is configured correctly. Navigate to Settings >> Initial Configuration >> Authentication. Verify that the LDAP server entry is correct and the button for "LDAP Based Authentication" is enabled. Verify that the "Native takes precedence" button is set to "Disabled". If the LDAP server entry is not present and enabled, and the "Native takes precedence" button is not set to "Disabled", this is a finding.

Fix text

Navigate to Settings >> Initial Configuration >> Authentication. Enter the correct LDAP server entry. Press the button for "LDAP Based Authentication" so that it is enabled. If necessary, press the "Disabled" button for "Native takes precedence". Press the "Commit" button.

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.
