Vulnerability discussion

To assure accountability and prevent unauthorized access, application server users must be uniquely identified and authenticated. This is typically accomplished via the use of a user store that is either local (OS-based) or centralized (LDAP) in nature.To ensure support to the enterprise, the authentication must utilize an enterprise solution.

Check content

Obtain the site configuration control policy from the ISSO. Review site procedures to determine if an enterprise management system is used to uniquely identify and authenticate users. If an enterprise management solution is not used, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure vROps to use an enterprise user management system and document this in the site configuration control policy.

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.
