Windows Server domain controllers must have Kerberos logging enabled with servers hosting Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS).
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Although Kerberos logging can be used for troubleshooting, it can also provide security information for successful and failed login attempts. If a malicious actor uses a forged or unauthorized certificate to complete Kerberos PKINIT authentication, the Kerberos Authentication Service success audit in event 4768 can be used to detect the specific fraudulent certificate that was used to authenticate to then revoke the certificate. Kerberos Service Ticket operation events can be used in an investigation to discover which services were accessed by a malicious actor or to detect if an SCHANNEL-based authentication was abused by a malicious actor.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
