Description
Enabling authentication (SECURITY_AUTHN) and authorization (SECURITY_AUTHZ) event handlers configures the server to record security authorization and authentication events. By logging these events, the logs can be analyzed to identify activity that could be related to security events and to aid post mortem forensic analysis. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000499-AS-000224, SRG-APP-000495-AS-000220, SRG-APP-000503-AS-000228, SRG-APP-000504-AS-000229, SRG-APP-000505-AS-000230, SRG-APP-000506-AS-000231, SRG-APP-000509-AS-000234, SRG-APP-000092-AS-000053

Who does this work

12 NICE work roles and 9 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-250350r961812_chk)

Review the ${server.config.dir}/server.xml file, verify the audit-1.0 feature is enabled. Also verify the auditFile Handler is configured to log AUTHN and AUTHZ events. If the audit1.0 feature is not enabled, this is a finding. If the SECURITY_AUTHN and SECURITY_AUTHZ event handlers are not configured, this is a finding. <featureManager> <feature>audit-1.0</feature> </featureManager> <auditFileHandler> <events name="AllAuthn" eventName="SECURITY_AUTHN" /> <events name="AllAuthz" eventName="SECURITY_AUTHZ" /> </auditFileHandler>

Fix Text (F-53739r795102_fix)

Modify the ${server.config.dir}/server.xml file and configure the audit-1.0 feature. <featureManager> <feature>audit-1.0</feature> </featureManager> Configure the auditFileHandler setting to record SECURITY_AUTHN and SECURITY_AUTHZ events. <auditFileHandler> <events name="AllAuthn" eventName="SECURITY_AUTHN"/> <events name="AllAuthz" eventName="SECURITY_AUTHZ" /> </auditFileHandler> Review audit logs located under the ${server.config.dir}/logs directory and ensure AUTHN and AUTHZ events are logged.
