The MQ Appliance messaging server must use an enterprise user management system to uniquely identify and authenticate users (or processes acting on behalf of organizational users).
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>To assure accountability and prevent unauthorized access, application server users must be uniquely identified and authenticated. This is typically accomplished via the use of a user store which is either local (OS-based) or centralized (LDAP) in nature. To ensure support to the enterprise, the authentication must utilize an enterprise solution. Review IBM product documentation for the LDAP fields required when setting up a communication link with the LDAP server. See https://ibm.biz/BdsRRk for a detailed description of these options.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
