2 Rules
This section details some security-relevant settings for an OpenLDAP server.
Uninstall openldap-servers Package
Low Severity
The openldap-servers package is not installed by default on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 system. It is needed only by the OpenLDAP server, not by the clients which use LDAP for authentication. If the system is not intended for use as an LDAP Server it should be removed.
Disable LDAP Server (slapd)
Medium Severity
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a service that provides a method for looking up information from a central database.
