Solaris 10 X86 STIG: GEN008120 (in versions v2 r4 through v1 r17)

Title

If the system is using LDAP for authentication or account information, the /etc/ldap.conf (or equivalent) file 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

Verify the permissions of the files. # ls -lL /var/ldap/ldap_client_file /var/ldap/ldap_client_cred If the permissions include a "+", the files have an extended ACL, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Remove the extended ACL from the files. # chmod A- /var/ldap/ldap_client_file /var/ldap/ldap_client_cred
