Redis Enterprise DBMS must limit the number of concurrent sessions to an organization-defined number per user for all accounts and/or account types.
Database management includes the ability to control the number of users and user sessions utilizing a DBMS. Unlimited concurrent connections to the DBMS could allow a successful denial-of-service (...Rule Low Severity -
Redis Enterprise DBMS must integrate with an organization-level authentication/access mechanism providing account management and automation for all users, groups, roles, and any other principals.
Enterprise environments make account management for applications and databases challenging and complex. A manual process for account management functions adds the risk of a potential oversight or o...Rule High Severity -
Redis Enterprise DBMS must enforce access control lists, as defined by the data owner, over defined subjects and objects.
Discretionary Access Control (DAC) is based on the notion that individual users are "owners" of objects and therefore have discretion over who should be authorized to access the object and in which...Rule Medium Severity -
Redis Enterprise DBMS must provide audit record generation capability for DoD-defined auditable events within all DBMS/database components.
Without the capability to generate audit records, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. Audit re...Rule Medium Severity -
Redis Enterprise DBMS 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 -
Redis Enterprise DBMS must offload audit data to a separate log management facility; this must be continuous and in near real time for systems with a network connection to the storage facility, and weekly or more often for stand-alone systems.
Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Offloading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity. Th...Rule Medium Severity -
Redis Enterprise DBMS must provide an immediate real-time alert to appropriate support staff of all audit log failures.
Redis Enterprise does not send immediate real-time alerts to support staff in the event of audit log failures; however, the host RHEL server can be configured to send such alerts using scripts or o...Rule Medium Severity -
Redis Enterprise DBMS must by default shut down upon audit failure, to include the unavailability of space for more audit log records; or must be configurable to shut down upon audit failure.
Redis Enterprise can be configured to generate alerts for certain other key events, but not in the instance of an audit failure. The DBMS would depend on the base Linux OS to detect and shut down i...Rule Medium Severity -
The audit information produced by Redis Enterprise DBMS must be protected from unauthorized modification.
If audit data were to become compromised, competent forensic analysis and discovery of the true source of potentially malicious system activity would be impossible to achieve. To ensure the verac...Rule Medium Severity -
Redis Enterprise DBMS must protect its audit configuration from unauthorized modification.
Redis Enterprise does not come with unique tools to view log data and logging is not configurable. Logs are stored in a standard log file on the host operating system that is accessible using stand...Rule Medium Severity -
Redis Enterprise DBMS must protect its audit features from unauthorized removal.
Redis Enterprise does not come with unique tools to view log data and logging is not configurable. Logs are stored in a standard log file on the host operating system that is accessible using stand...Rule Medium Severity -
Redis Enterprise DBMS must limit privileges to change software modules; to include stored procedures, functions, and triggers, and links to software external to Redis Enterprise DBMS.
If the system were to allow any user to make changes to software libraries, those changes might be implemented without undergoing the appropriate testing and approvals that are part of a robust cha...Rule Medium Severity -
Redis Enterprise DBMS software installation account must be restricted to authorized users.
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 can have significant effec...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 -
Unused database components that are integrated in Redis Enterprise DBMS and cannot be uninstalled must be disabled.
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 -
Redis Enterprise DBMS must require users to reauthenticate when organization-defined circumstances or situations require reauthentication.
The DOD standard for authentication of an interactive user is the presentation of a Common Access Card (CAC) or other physical token bearing a valid, current, DOD-issued Public Key Infrastructure (...Rule Medium Severity -
If passwords are used for authentication, Redis Enterprise DBMS must store only hashed, salted 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 Medium Severity -
Redis Enterprise DBMS must enforce authorized access to all PKI private keys stored/used by Redis Enterprise 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 -
Redis Enterprise DBMS 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

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.
