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 which 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

Interview the ISSO and/or the SA. Determine the enterprise user management system being used to uniquely identify and authenticate users. If the vAMI is not configured to use the enterprise user management system, this is a finding.

Fix text

Consult the appropriate VMware technical guide to implement the site-specific enterprise user management system.

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.
