The CA API Gateway must generate audit log events for a locally developed list of auditable events.

Overview

Description
Auditing and logging are key components of any security architecture. Logging the actions of specific events provides a means to investigate an attack; to recognize resource utilization or capacity thresholds; or to identify an improperly configured network device. If auditing is not comprehensive, it will not be useful for intrusion monitoring, security investigations, and forensic analysis.

Check Text ( C-71949r1_chk )
Examine "/etc/audit/audit.rules" to confirm any custom developed rules are contained within the file. If the "/etc/audit/audit.rules" does not contain the custom developed rules within the file, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-77895r1_fix)
The Gateway relies on the standard Linux audit subsystem. The subsystem is configurable by modifying /etc/audit/audit.rules. Custom rules can be added to this file. See the Linux man-page for audit.rules(7) for detail about specifying custom rules.
