The MQ Appliance messaging server must provide access logging that ensures users who are granted a privileged role (or roles) have their privileged activity logged.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>In order to be able to provide a forensic history of activity, the messaging server must ensure users who are granted a privileged role or those who utilize a separate distinct account when accessing privileged functions or data have their actions logged. If privileged activity is not logged, no forensic logs can be used to establish accountability for privileged actions that occur on the system.
