1.97 SOL-11.1-040315

Information

Access to a domain console via telnet must be restricted to the local host.

GROUP ID: V-216348
RULE ID: SV-216348r959010

Telnet is an insecure protocol.

Solution

The root role is required. This action applies only to the control domain.

Determine the domain that you are currently securing.

# virtinfo
Domain role: LDoms control I/O service root
The current domain is the control domain, which is also an I/O domain, the service domain, and a root I/O domain.

If the current domain is not the control domain, this action does not apply.

Create a password-controlled role that has the solaris.vntsd.consoles authorization, which permits access to all domain consoles.

# roleadd -A solaris.vntsd.consoles [role-name]
# passwd [role-name]

Assign the new role to a user.

# usermod -R [role-name] [username]
