Vulnerability discussion

Where strong account and password management capabilities are required, the 3PAR system is heavily dependent on its ability to use an LDAP server.Satisfies: SRG-OS-000001-GPOS-00001, SRG-OS-000104-GPOS-00051, SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227

Check content

Determine if the system is configured for LDAP. Enter the following command: cli% showauthparam If the output indicates an error, this is a finding. If the resulting output does not include group parameters "groups-dn", "group-obj", or "group-name-attr" then the host is configured to use Active Directory and this requirement is not applicable. If the host is using LDAP and the following fields of the output are not configured, this is a finding. ldap-server ldap-server-hn Next, verify that the LDAP authentication is operational by entering the following command: cli% checkpassword password: If the username and password used in "checkpassword" are known to be valid LDAP credentials, and the following text is NOT displayed at the end of the resulting output, this is a finding. user is authenticated and authorized Note: The "checkpassword" command will not display authenticated information even if LDAP is properly configured, if the username and password are not entered correctly.

Fix text

Use this series of commands to configure LDAP. cli% setauthparam -f ldap-server cli% setauthparam -f ldap-server-hn cli% setauthparam -f binding simple cli% setauthparam -f ldap-StartTLS require cli% setauthparam -f groups-dn ou=Groups,dc=thisdomain,dc=com cli% setauthparam -f user-dn-base ou=People,dc=thisdomain,dc=com cli% setauthparam -f user-attr uid cli% setauthparam -f group-obj groupofuniquenames cli% setauthparam -f group-name-attr cn cli% setauthparam -f member-attr uniqueMember cli% setauthparam -f browse-map "*" cli% setauthparam -f edit-map cli% setauthparam -f service-map cli% setauthparam -f super-map

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.
