Check Text ( C-30135r490354_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 ownership of the certificate database files. # ls -lL /var/ldap/cert8.db /var/ldap/key3.db /var/ldap/secmod.db If the owner of any of the files is not root, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-30123r490355_fix)
Change the ownership of the certificate database files. # chown root /var/ldap/cert8.db /var/ldap/key3.db /var/ldap/secmod.db
