Check content

Review System Security Plan documentation. Interview the system administrator. Identify the service integration buses configured on the WAS. If there are no service integration buses, this requirement is NA. From the administration console, navigate to Security >> Bus Security. For each service integration bus, if security is not enabled, this is a finding.

Fix text

From the administration console, navigate to Security >> Bus Security. For each service integration bus where security is not enabled, click on "Disabled". Click the check box to "Enable bus security". Configure the transport settings and authorization policies according to application security access requirements specified in the security plan.

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.
