The JBoss Server must be configured to utilize a centralized authentication mechanism such as AD or LDAP.
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 that is either local (OS-based) or centralized (Active Directory/LDAP) in nature. It should be noted that JBoss does not specifically mention Active Directory since AD is LDAP aware. To ensure accountability and prevent unauthorized access, the JBoss Server must be configured to utilize a centralized authentication mechanism.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
