Lookup Service must not be configured with the "UserDatabaseRealm" enabled.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
The Lookup Service performs user authentication at the application level and not through Tomcat. By default, there is no configuration for the "UserDatabaseRealm" Tomcat authentication mechanism. As part of eliminating unnecessary features and to ensure the Lookup Service remains in its shipping state, the lack of a "UserDatabaseRealm" configuration must be confirmed.
