JBOS-AS-000210 - mgmt-users.properties file permissions must be set to allow access to authorized users only.

Information

The mgmt-users.properties file contains the password hashes of all users who are in a management role and must be protected. Application servers have the ability to specify that the hosted applications utilize shared libraries. The application server must have a capability to divide roles based upon duties wherein one project user (such as a developer) cannot modify the shared library code of another project user. The application server must also be able to specify that non-privileged users cannot modify any shared library code at all.

Solution

Configure the file permissions to allow access to authorized users only.
Owner can be full access.
Group can be full access.
All others must have execute permissions only.
