The root role is required. Check the SNMP configuration for default passwords. Locate and examine the SNMP configuration. Procedure: Find any occurrences of the snmpd.conf file delivered with Solaris packages: # pkg search -l -Ho path snmpd.conf | awk '{ print "/"$1 }' # more [filename] Identify any community names or user password configurations. If any community name or password is set to a default value, such as public, private, snmp-trap, or password, this is a finding.
The root role is required. Change the default snmpd.conf community passwords. To change them, locate the snmpd.conf file and edit it. # pfedit [filename] Locate the line system-group-read-community which has a default password of public and make the password something more random (less guessable). Make the same changes for the lines that read system- group-write-community, read-community, write-community, trap, and trap-community. Read the information in the file carefully. The trap is defining who to send traps to, for instance, by default. It is not a password, but the name of a host.
The root role is required. Solaris 11 includes the Basic Account and Reporting Tool (BART), which uses cryptographic-strength checksums and file system metadata to determine changes. By default, the manifest generator catalogs all attributes of all files in the root (/) file system. File systems mounted on the root file system are cataloged only if they are of the same type as the root file system. A Baseline BART manifest may exist in: /var/adm/log/bartlogs/[control manifest filename] If a BART manifest does not exist, this is a finding. At least weekly, create a new BART baseline report. # bart create > /var/adm/log/bartlogs/[new manifest filename] Compare the new report to the previous report to identify any changes in the system baseline. # bart compare /var/adm/log/bartlogs/[baseline manifest filename] /var/adm/log/bartlogs/[new manifest filename] Examine the BART report for changes.

Ask the operators if they use vi, emacs, or gedit to make changes to system files. If vi, emacs, or gedit are used to make changes to system files, this is a finding.
Advise the operators to use pdfedit or other appropriate command line tools to make system changes instead of vi, emacs, or gedit. Oracle Solaris includes administrative configuration files which use pfedit, and the solaris.admin.edit/path_to_file authorization is not recommended. Alternate commands exist which are both domain-specific and safer. For example, for the /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, or /etc/user_attr files, use instead passwd, useradd, userdel, or usermod. For the /etc/group file, use instead groupadd, groupdel, or groupmod. For updating /etc/security/auth_attr, /etc/security/exec_attr, or /etc/security/prof_attr, the preferred command is profiles.

Determine if file system encryption is required by your organization. If not required, this item does not apply. Determine if file system encryption is enabled for user data sets. This check does not apply to the root, var, share, swap or dump datasets. # zfs list Using the file system name, determine if the file system is encrypted: # zfs get encryption [filesystem] If "encryption off" is listed, this is a finding.
The ZFS file system management profile is required. ZFS file system encryption may only be enabled on creation of the file system. If a file system must be encrypted and is not, its data should be archived, it must be removed and re-created. First, stop running applications using the file systems, archive the data, unmount, and then remove the file system. # umount [file system name] # zfs destroy [file system name] When creating ZFS file systems, ensure that they are created as encrypted file systems. # pfexec zfs create -o encryption=on [file system name] Enter passphrase for '[file system name]': xxxxxxx Enter again: xxxxxxx Store the passphrase in a safe location. The passphrase will be required to mount the file systems upon system reboot. If automated mounting is required, the passphrase must be stored in a file.

The operator shall determine if IPsec is being used to encrypt data for activities such as cluster interconnects or other non-SSH, SFTP data connections. On both systems review the file /etc/inet/ipsecinit.conf. Ensure that connections between hosts are configured properly in this file per the Solaris 11 documentation. Check that the IPsec policy service is online: # svcs svc:/network/ipsec/policy:default If the IPsec service is not online, this is a finding. If encrypted protocols are not used between systems, this is a finding.
The Service Management profile is required. Configure IPsec encrypted tunneling between two systems. On both systems review the file /etc/inet/ipsecinit.conf. Ensure that connections between hosts are configured properly in this file per the Solaris 11 documentation. Ensure that the IPsec policy service is online: Enable the IPsec service: # svcadm enable svc:/network/ipsec/policy:default
The audit configuration profile is required. This check applies to the global zone only. Determine the zone that you are currently securing. # zonename If the command output is "global", this check applies. Determine the location of the local audit trail files. # auditconfig -getplugin audit_binfile Plugin: audit_binfile (active) Attributes: p_dir=/var/audit;p_fsize=4M;p_minfree=1;" In this example, the audit files can be found in /var/audit. Check that the permissions on the audit files are 640 (rw- r-- --) or less permissive. # ls -al /var/audit # ls -l /var/audit/* If the permissions are more permissive than 640, this is a finding. Note: The default Solaris 11 location for /var/audit is a link to /var/share/audit.
The root role is required. Determine the location of the local audit trail files. # pfexec auditconfig -getplugin audit_binfile Plugin: audit_binfile (active) Attributes: p_dir=/var/audit;p_fsize=4M;p_minfree=1 In this example, the audit files can be found in /var/audit. Change the permissions on the audit trail files and the audit directory. # chmod 640 /var/share/audit/* # chmod 750 /var/share/audit Note: The default Solaris 11 location for /var/audit is a link to /var/share/audit.
NTP must be used and used only in the global zone. Determine the zone to be secured. # zonename If the command output is not "global", then NTP must be disabled. Check the system for a running NTP daemon. # svcs -Ho state ntp If NTP is online, this is a finding. If the output from "zonename" is "global", then NTP must be enabled. Check the system for a running NTP daemon. # svcs -Ho state ntp If NTP is not online, this is a finding. If NTP is running, confirm the servers and peers or multicast client (as applicable) are local or an authoritative U.S. DOD source. For the NTP daemon: # more /etc/inet/ntp.conf If a nonlocal/nonauthoritative (non-DOD source, non-USNO-based, or non-GPS) time server is used, this is a finding. Determine if the time synchronization frequency is correct. # grep "maxpoll" /etc/inet/ntp.conf If the command returns "File not found" or any value for maxpoll, this is a finding. Determine if the running NTP server is configured properly. # ntpq -p | awk '($6 ~ /[0-9]+/ && $6 > 86400) { print $1" "$6 }' This will print out the name of any time server whose current polling time is greater than 24 hours (along with the actual value). If there is any output, this is a finding.
The root role is required. Determine the zone to be secured. # zonename If the command output is not "global", then NTP must be disabled. # svcadm disable ntp If the output from "zonename" is "global", then NTP must be enabled. To activate the ntpd daemon, the ntp.conf file must first be created. # cp /etc/inet/ntp.client /etc/inet/ntp.conf # pfedit /etc/inet/ntp.conf Make site-specific changes to this file as needed in the form. server [ntpserver] Locate the line containing maxpoll (if it exists). Delete the line. Start the ntpd daemon. # svcadm enable ntp Use a local authoritative time server synchronizing to an authorized DOD time source, a USNO-based time server, or a GPS. Ensure all systems in the facility feed from one or more local time servers that feed from the authoritative time server. Edit the NTP configuration files and make the necessary changes to add the approved time servers per Solaris documentation.
