| Description | ||||
| Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000342-GPOS-00133, SRG-OS-000479-GPOS-00224 | ||||

Details
Check Text (C-221771r958754_chk)
Verify the operating system encrypts audit records off-loaded onto a different system or media from the system being audited.
To determine if the transfer is encrypted, use the following command:
# grep -i enable_krb5 /etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf
enable_krb5 = yes
If the value of the "enable_krb5" option is not set to "yes" or the line is commented out, ask the System Administrator to indicate how the audit logs are off-loaded to a different system or media.
If there is no evidence that the transfer of the audit logs being off-loaded to another system or media is encrypted, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-23475r419386_fix)
Configure the operating system to encrypt the transfer of off-loaded audit records onto a different system or media from the system being audited.
Uncomment the "enable_krb5" option in "/etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf" and set it with the following line:
enable_krb5 = yes
