PHTN-40-000238 - The Photon operating system must generate audit records for all access and modifications to the opasswd file.
Information
Without the capability to generate audit records, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one.Solution
Navigate to and open:/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.STIG.rules
Add or update the following lines:
-w /etc/security/opasswd -p wa -k opasswd
At the command line, run the following command to load the new audit rules:
# /sbin/augenrules --load
Note: An "audit.STIG.rules" file is provided with this guidance for placement in "/etc/audit/rules.d" that contains all rules needed for auditd.
Note: An older "audit.STIG.rules" may exist and may reference older "GEN" SRG IDs. This file can be removed and replaced as necessary with an updated one.
