JBOS-AS-000125 - JBoss must be configured to record the IP address and port information used by management interface network traffic.

Information

Application server logging capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Without sufficient and accurate information, a correct replay of the events cannot be determined.

Ascertaining the correct source, e.g., source IP, of the events is important during forensic analysis. Correctly determining the source will add information to the overall reconstruction of the loggable event. By determining the source of the event correctly, analysis of the enterprise can be undertaken to determine if the event compromised other assets within the enterprise.

Without sufficient information establishing the source of the logged event, investigation into the cause of event is severely hindered. Log record content that may be necessary to satisfy the requirement of this control includes, but is not limited to, time stamps, source and destination IP addresses, user/process identifiers, event descriptions, application-specific events, success/fail indications, filenames involved, access control, or flow control rules invoked.

Solution

Launch the jboss-cli management interface.
Connect to the server by typing 'connect', authenticate as a user in the Superuser role, and run the following command:

For a Managed Domain configuration:
'host=master/server/<SERVERNAME>/core-service=management/access=audit/logger=audit-log:write-attribute(name=enabled,value=true)'

For a Standalone configuration:
'/core-service=management/access=audit/logger=audit-log:write-attribute(name=enabled,value=true)'
