The Security Token Service must generate log records during Java startup and shutdown.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Logging must be started as soon as possible when a service starts and as late as possible when a service is stopped. Many forms of suspicious actions can be detected by analyzing logs for unexpected service starts and stops. Also, by starting to log immediately after a service starts, it becomes more difficult for suspicious activity to go unlogged. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000089-WSR-000047, SRG-APP-000092-WSR-000055
