The WebSphere Liberty Server must log remote session and security activity.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Security auditing must be configured in order to log remote session activity. Security auditing will not be performed unless the audit feature (audit-1.0) has been enabled. The security feature (appSecurity-2.0) must be enabled for the security auditing to capture security transactions. The servlet (servlet-3.1) feature must be enabled to generate web-based security events. The ejb (ejbLite-3.1) feature must be enabled to generate ejb-based security events. Remote session activity will then be logged, regardless of the user attempting that activity.
