Description
By default, the JBoss server is not configured to utilize role based access controls (RBAC). RBAC provides the capability to restrict user access to their designated management role, thereby limiting access to only the JBoss functionality that they are supposed to have. Without RBAC, the JBoss server is not able to enforce authorized access according to role.

Connect to the server and authenticate. Run the following command: For standalone servers: "ls /core-service=management/access=authorization/" For managed domain installations: "ls /host=master/core-service=management/access=authorization/" If the "provider" attribute is not set to "rbac", this is a finding.
