Title
If the system is using LDAP for authentication or account information, the LDAP TLS certificate authority file and/or directory (as appropriate) must not have an extended ACL. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
LDAP can be used to provide user authentication and account information, which are vital to system security. The LDAP client configuration must be protected from unauthorized modification.
Check Content
Determine the SSL certificate key database file and/or directory. # grep -i '^ldapsslkeyf' /etc/security/ldap/ldap.cfg For each file or directory returned, check the permissions. # aclget < certpath > # aclget < certpath >/< certfile > If extended file permissions are enabled, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Remove the extended ACL from the SSL certificate key database file. # acledit < certpath > # acledit < certpath >/<certfile > Disable the extended file permissions.
