1.206 RHEL-09-255025

Information

RHEL 9 must display the Standard Mandatory DOD Notice and Consent Banner before granting local or remote access to the system via a SSH logon.

GROUP ID: V-257981
RULE ID: SV-257981r1045019

The warning message reinforces policy awareness during the logon process and facilitates possible legal action against attackers. Alternatively, systems whose ownership should not be obvious should ensure usage of a banner that does not provide easy attribution.

Satisfies: SRG-OS-000023-GPOS-00006, SRG-OS-000228-GPOS-00088

Solution

Configure RHEL 9 to display the Standard Mandatory DOD Notice and Consent Banner before granting access to the system via ssh.

Edit the "etc/ssh/sshd_config" file or a file in "/etc/ssh/sshd_config.d" to uncomment the banner keyword and configure it to point to a file that will contain the logon banner (this file may be named differently or be in a different location if using a version of SSH that is provided by a third-party vendor).

An example configuration line is:

Banner /etc/issue
