Vulnerability discussion

Security auditing will not be performed unless the audit security subsystem has been enabled. Global security must be enabled for the security audit subsystem to function, as no security auditing occurs if global security is not also enabled. Enable global security before enabling security auditing.Satisfies: SRG-APP-000016-AS-000013, SRG-APP-000343-AS-000030, SRG-APP-000080-AS-000045, SRG-APP-000092-AS-000053, SRG-APP-000266-AS-000168, SRG-APP-000267-AS-000170

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.
