Title
If the system is using LDAP for authentication or account information, the LDAP TLS certificate 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
Determine the certificate file. # grep -i '^tls_cert' /etc/ldap.conf Check the permissions. # ls -lL <certpath> If the mode of the file contains a '+', an extended ACL is present. This is a finding.
Fix Text
Remove the extended ACL from the certificate file. Procedure: For each certificate file found remove all extended permissions. # setfacl --remove-all <certpath>
