Redis Enterprise DBMS must generate audit records for all direct access to the database(s).

An XCCDF Rule

Description

In this context, direct access is any query, command, or call to the DBMS that comes from any source other than the application(s) that it supports. Examples would be the command line or a database management utility program. The intent is to capture all activity from administrative and non-standard sources.

A Manual Procedure

Configure the host RHEL OS to generate audit records whenever a user calls the redis-cli command. This can be done by adding a rule to the /etc/audit/audit.rules to generate records when /opt/redislabs/bin/redis-cli and /opt/redislabs/bin/rladmin is called.

Example Linux commands:
-a always,exit -F path=/opt/redislabs/bin/redis-cli -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -k privileged-priv_change
-a always,exit -F path=/opt/redislabs/bin/rladmin -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -k privileged-priv_change

The audit daemon must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
