Description
After a security incident has occurred, investigators will often review log files to determine what happened. Understanding what type of event occurred is critical for investigation of a suspicious event. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000095-WSR-000056, SRG-APP-000096-WSR-000057, SRG-APP-000097-WSR-000058, SRG-APP-000098-WSR-000059, SRG-APP-000099-WSR-000061, SRG-APP-000100-WSR-000064, SRG-APP-000374-WSR-000172, SRG-APP-000375-WSR-000171

Who does this work

6 NICE work roles and 5 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-256650r888472_chk)

At the command prompt, run the following command: # /opt/vmware/sbin/vami-lighttpd -p -f /opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf 2>/dev/null|grep "accesslog.format"|sed -e 's/^[ ]*//' The default commented, "accesslog" format is acceptable for this requirement. No output should be returned. If the command returns any output, this is a finding. Note: The command must be run from a bash shell and not from a shell generated by the "appliance shell". Use the "chsh" command to change the shell for the account to "/bin/bash". Refer to KB Article 2100508 for more details: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2100508

Fix Text (F-60268r888471_fix)

Navigate to and open: /opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf Comment any existing "accesslog.format" lines by adding a "#" at the beginning of the line. Restart the service with the following command: # vmon-cli --restart applmgmt
