IBM MQ Appliance V9.0 AS Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The MQ Appliance messaging server must synchronize internal MQ Appliance messaging server clocks to an authoritative time source when the time difference is greater than the organization-defined time period.

    Determining the correct time a particular application event occurred on a system is critical when conducting forensic analysis and investigating system events. Synchronization of internal messagin...
    Rule Low Severity
  • SRG-APP-000371-AS-000077

    Group
  • The MQ Appliance messaging server must compare internal MQ Appliance messaging server clocks at least every 24 hours with an authoritative time source.

  • SRG-APP-000400-AS-000246

    Group
  • The MQ Appliance WebGUI interface to the messaging server must prohibit the use of cached authenticators after one hour.

    When the messaging server is using PKI authentication, a local revocation cache must be stored for instances when the revocation cannot be authenticated through the network, but if cached authentic...

  • SRG-APP-000295-AS-000263

    Group
  • The MQ Appliance messaging server must automatically terminate a SSH user session after organization-defined conditions or trigger events requiring a session disconnect.

    An attacker can take advantage of CLI user sessions that are left open, thus bypassing the user authentication process. To thwart the vulnerability of open and unused user sessions, the messaging ...
