Group -
MarkLogic Server must limit privileges to change software modules, including stored procedures, functions, and triggers, and links to software external to the DBMS.
If the system were to allow any user to make changes to software libraries, then those changes might be implemented without undergoing the appropriate testing and approvals that are part of a robus...Rule Medium Severity -

Unused database components, DBMS software, and database objects must be removed.
Information systems are capable of providing a wide variety of functions and services. Some of the functions and services, provided by default, may not be necessary to support essential organizatio...Rule Medium Severity -

MarkLogic Server software, including configuration files, must be stored in dedicated directories, or DASD pools, separate from the host OS and other applications.
When dealing with change control issues, it should be noted any changes to the hardware, software, and/or firmware components of the information system and/or application could potentially have sig...Rule Medium Severity -

Group -
MarkLogic Server objects (including but not limited to indexes, storage, functions, triggers, links to software external to the server, etc.) must be owned by database/MarkLogic Server principals authorized for ownership.
Within the database, object ownership implies full privileges to the owned object, including the privilege to assign access to the owned objects to other subjects. Database functions and procedures...Rule Medium Severity -

The role(s)/group(s) used to modify database structure (including but not necessarily limited to indexes, storage, etc.) and logic modules (functions, triggers, links to software external to the MarkLogic Server, etc.) must be restricted to authorized users.
If the DBMS were to allow any user to make changes to database structure or logic, then those changes might be implemented without undergoing the appropriate testing and approvals that are part of ...Rule Medium Severity -

Group -
MarkLogic Server must be configured to prohibit or restrict the use of organization-defined functions, ports, protocols, and/or services, as defined in the PPSM CAL and vulnerability assessments.
In order to prevent unauthorized connection of devices, unauthorized transfer of information, or unauthorized tunneling (i.e., embedding of data types within data types), organizations must disable...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000148-DB-000103
Group -
MarkLogic Server must uniquely identify and authenticate organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of organizational users).
To ensure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, organizational users must be identified and authenticated to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Organizational use...Rule Medium Severity -

Group -
If MarkLogic Server authentication using passwords is employed, MarkLogic Server must enforce the DOD standards for password complexity and lifetime.
OS/enterprise authentication and identification must be used (SRG-APP-000023-DB-000001). Native DBMS authentication may be used only when circumstances make it unavoidable, and must be documented a...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000172-DB-000075
Group -
If passwords are used for authentication, the MarkLogic Server must transmit only encrypted representations of passwords.
The DoD standard for authentication is DoD-approved PKI certificates. Authentication based on User ID and Password may be used only when it is not possible to employ a PKI certificate, and require...Rule High Severity -

MarkLogic Server must enforce authorized access to all PKI private keys stored/utilized by the DBMS.
The DoD standard for authentication is DoD-approved PKI certificates. PKI certificate-based authentication is performed by requiring the certificate holder to cryptographically prove possession of ...Rule High Severity -
SRG-APP-000179-DB-000114
Group -
MarkLogic Server must use NIST FIPS 140-2 or 140-3 validated cryptographic modules for cryptographic operations and protect classified information in accordance with the requirements of the data owner.
Use of weak or not validated cryptographic algorithms undermines the purposes of using encryption and digital signatures to protect data. Weak algorithms can be easily broken, and cryptographic mod...Rule High Severity -

MarkLogic Server must uniquely identify and authenticate non-organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of non-organizational users).
Non-organizational users include all information system users other than organizational users, which include organizational employees or individuals the organization deems to have equivalent status...Rule Medium Severity -

MarkLogic Server must maintain the authenticity of communications sessions by guarding against man-in-the-middle attacks that guess at Session ID values.
One class of man-in-the-middle, or session hijacking, attacks involves the adversary guessing at valid session identifiers based on patterns in known identifiers. The preferred technique for thwar...Rule Medium Severity -

MarkLogic Server must protect the confidentiality and integrity of all information at rest.
This control is intended to address the confidentiality and integrity of information at rest in non-mobile devices and covers user information and system information. Information at rest refers to ...Rule High Severity -

MarkLogic Server must associate organization-defined types of security labels having organization-defined security label values with information in transmission.
Without the association of security labels to information, there is no basis for the DBMS to make security-related access-control decisions. Security labels are abstractions representing the basic...Rule Medium Severity -

Group -
MarkLogic Server must prevent non-privileged users from executing privileged functions, to include disabling, circumventing, or altering implemented security safeguards/countermeasures.
Preventing non-privileged users from executing privileged functions mitigates the risk that unauthorized individuals or processes may gain unnecessary access to information or privileges. System ...Rule Medium Severity -

MarkLogic Server must allocate audit record storage capacity in accordance with organization-defined audit record storage requirements.
To ensure sufficient storage capacity for the audit logs, the DBMS must be able to allocate audit record storage capacity. Although another requirement (SRG-APP-000515-DB-000318) mandates that audi...Rule Medium Severity -

MarkLogic Server must provide a warning to appropriate support staff when allocated audit record storage volume reaches 75 percent of maximum audit record storage capacity.
Organizations are required to use a central log management system, so, under normal conditions, the audit space allocated to the DBMS on its own server will not be an issue. However, space will sti...Rule Medium Severity -

MarkLogic Server must provide an immediate real-time alert to appropriate support staff of all audit failures.
It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without a real-time alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impe...Rule Medium Severity -

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
