Host must verify certificates for TLS remote logging endpoints

MoyenneNiveau 1Automatiséevmware

Description

When engaging in remote logging activities, it is of utmost importance to ensure that the logging endpoint is genuine and secure. To achieve this, hosts should verify the TLS certificates of these endpoints. This verification provides assurance that the endpoint is both authentic and trustworthy, mitigating the risk of transmitting logs to potentially malicious or untrusted ... The audit reads Syslog.global.certificate.checkSSLCerts with esxcli and requires true (1). Runs in the ESXi Shell (busybox sh) as root.

Méthode de vérification

Méthode d'audit: Commande shell

shell

out=$(esxcli system settings advanced list -o /Syslog/global/certificate/checkSSLCerts 2>/dev/null) || exit 1
v=$(printf '%s\n' "$out" | awk '$1=="Int" && $2=="Value:" {print $3; exit}')
case "$v" in ''|*[!0-9-]*) echo '/Syslog/global/certificate/checkSSLCerts: no integer value'; exit 1 ;; esac
if [ "$v" -eq 1 ]; then echo compliant; else echo "/Syslog/global/certificate/checkSSLCerts = $v (expected true/1)"; fi

Sortie attendue: compliant

Méthode de correction

Méthode de correction: Recommandation ou correctif d'infrastructure

Execute command: esxcli system syslog config set --check-ssl- certs=true Verify with: esxcli system syslog config get remediated result should include: ssl://
