Check: CAGW-DM-000240
CA API Gateway NDM STIG:
CAGW-DM-000240
(in version v1 r1)
Title
The CA API Gateway must record time stamps for audit records that meet a granularity of one second for a minimum degree of precision. (Cat III impact)
Discussion
Without sufficient granularity of time stamps, it is not possible to adequately determine the chronological order of records. Time stamps generated by the application include date and time. Granularity of time measurements refers to the degree of synchronization between information system clocks and reference clocks.
Check Content
Verify the Gateway (using ssgconfig) is configured to use multiple ntp sources using menu: 1) Configure system settings >> 1) Configure networking and system time settings. Walk through the query process until being queried for time servers and verify the list of ntp servers is correct. If the CA API Gateway is not configured to use multiple ntp sources, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure the Gateway using ssgconfig to set multiple ntp sources using menu: 1) Configure system settings >> 1) Configure networking and system time settings. Walk through the query process until being queried for time servers and insert a comma-separated list of ntp time servers.
