GEN002752 - The audit system must be configured to audit account disabling - '/etc/security/audit/events USER_Change exists'

Information

If the system is not configured to audit certain activities and write them to an audit log, it is more difficult to detect and track system compromises and damages incurred during a system compromise.

Solution

Configure the system to audit account disabling.
Edit /etc/security/audit/events and add the USER_Change and USER_Locked events to the list of audited events.
Edit /etc/security/audit/config and add the USER_Change and USER_Locked audits event to an audit class in the classes: stanza.
Edit the /etc/security/audit/config and assign the audit classes with the USER_Change and USER_Locked events to the all users listed in the users: stanza.
