Check Text (C-216024r958368_chk)
The Audit Configuration profile is required.
This check applies to the global zone only. Determine the zone currently being secured.
# zonename
If the command output is "global", this check applies.
Determine the OS version currently being secured.
# uname -v
For Solaris 11, 11.1, 11.2, and 11.3:
# pfexec auditconfig -getflags | grep active | cut -f2 -d=
If "ps" audit flag is not included in the output, this is a finding.
For Solaris 11.4 or newer:
# pfexec auditconfig -t -getflags | cut -f2 -d=
If "cusa,fm,fd,-fa,-ps,-ex" audit flags are not included in the output, this is a finding.
Determine if auditing policy is set to collect command line arguments.
# pfexec auditconfig -getpolicy | grep active | grep argv
If the active audit policies line does not appear, this is a finding.

For Solaris 11, 11.1, 11.2, and 11.3:
# pfexec auditconfig -setflags cusa,-ps,fd,-fa,fm
For Solaris 11.4 or newer:
# pfexec auditconfig -setflags cusa,-fa,-ex,-ps,fd,fm
Enable the audit policy to collect command line arguments.
