Description
By default, all administrative and user applications in WebSphere® Application Server use the global security configuration. For example, a user registry defined in global security is used to authenticate users for every application in the cell. WebSphere allows for additional WebSphere security domains where different security attributes for some or all of your user applications can be set. These domains must also be configured to use application security.

Check Text (C-96057r1_chk)

Review System Security Plan documentation. Identify any publicly available applications. These are applications available to the public that do not require authentication to access (e.g., recruiting websites). If such applications exist on the system and are specifically allowed according to the security plan, this requirement is NA for those applications only. Navigate to security >> security domains. Click through each security domain. If "Customize for this domain" is checked for Application Security under the Security Attributes, but "Enable application security" is not checked, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-88127r1_fix)

Navigate to security >> security domains. Click through each security domain. If "Customize for this domain" is checked for Application Security under the Security Attributes, but "Enable application security" is not checked, check "Enable application security". Expand "show" to find all affected nodes and servers. Click "OK". Click "Save". Synchronize the changes. Restart all affected nodes and servers.
