Check Text ( C-52069r2_chk )
Check if the system is using NSS LDAP. # grep -v '^#' /etc/nsswitch.conf | grep ldap If no lines are returned, this vulnerability is not applicable. Verify the NSS LDAP client is configured to check certificates against a certificate revocation list. # grep -i '^tls_crlcheck' /etc/ldap.conf If the setting does not exist, or the value is not "all", this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-53955r1_fix)
Edit "/etc/ldap.conf" and add or set the "tls_crlcheck" setting to "all".
