WBLC-02-000077 - Oracle WebLogic must produce audit records containing sufficient information to establish where the events occurred.

Information

Information system auditing capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Audit record content that may be necessary to satisfy the requirement of this control includes time stamps, source and destination addresses, user/process identifiers, event descriptions, success/fail indications, filenames involved, and access control or flow control rules invoked.

Without sufficient information establishing where the audit events occurred, investigation into the cause of events is severely hindered.

In addition to logging relevant data, application servers must also log information to indicate the location of these events. Examples of relevant data include, but are not limited to, Java Virtual Machine (JVM) activity, HTTPD activity and application server-related system process activity.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

1. If managed server or deployments do not appear in the list of log files, the 'JRF Template' must be applied to the server/cluster
2. Access EM
3. Select the server or cluster from the navigation tree
4. If the 'Apply JRF Template' button appears, click this button and wait for the confirmation message that the template has been successfully applied
5. Again, select the server or cluster from the navigation tree
6. Click the 'Shut Down...' button, and click 'Shutdown' in the confirmation popup. Wait for server or cluster to shut down.
7. Click the 'Start Up' button for the server or cluster to start up again
