The MQ Appliance network device must generate audit records when concurrent logons from different workstations occur.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. Using a syslog logging target, the MQ Appliance logs all logons to the device-, including the source, time and date, and identity of the user. Logging may be set to the following logging levels in descending order of criticality: debug, info, notice, warn, error, alert, emerg. The default is notice. Audit records can be generated from various components within the MQ Appliance network device (e.g., module or policy filter). It is the responsibility of the sysadmin to configure the triggers necessary to send alerts based upon information received at the syslog server. The sysadmin can trigger notifications upon receiving the following audit event: 0x81000033. This is the logon event.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
