Check: 3.014

Windows 2003 MS STIG: 3.014 (in version v6 r37)

Title

The Windows dialog box title for the legal banner must be configured. (Cat III impact)

Discussion

Failure to display the logon banner prior to a logon attempt will negate legal proceedings resulting from unauthorized access to system resources.

Check Content

Analyze the system using the Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in. Expand the Security Configuration and Analysis tree view. Navigate to Local Policies -> Security Options. If the value for “Interactive Logon: Message title for users attempting to log on” is not set to “DoD Notice and Consent Banner”, “US Department of Defense Warning Statement”, or a site defined equivalent, this is a finding. If a site defined title is used, it can in no case contravene or modify the language of the banner text required in V-1089. Automated tools may only search for the titles defined above. If a site defined title is used, a manual review will be required. The policy referenced configures the following registry value: Registry Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry Path: \Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\ Value Name: LegalNoticeCaption Value Type: REG_SZ Value: See message title above

Fix Text

Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options “Interactive Logon: Message title for users attempting to log on” to “DoD Notice and Consent Banner”, “US Department of Defense Warning Statement”, or a site defined equivalent. If a site defined title is used, it can in no case contravene or modify the language of the banner text required in V-1089.
