Assessment Procedure

Check Text

Determine if the system uses LDAP. If it does not, this is not applicable. 
# swlist | grep LDAP
OR
# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf | tr '\011' ' ' | tr -s ' ' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | grep -v "^#" | grep -i ldap

If nothing is returned for either of the above commands, this is not applicable.

If LDAP is installed, check the ownership of the LDAP cert file(s).
# ls -lLa /etc/opt/ldapux/cert8.db

If the owner of the file is not root or bin, this is a finding.

Implementation Procedure

Fix Text

Change the ownership of the file.
# chown root <certfile>
