Assessment Procedure

Check Text

All remote sessions must be conducted via encrypted services and ports.

Check that SSH is enabled:
# svcs svc:/network/ssh
STATE          STIME           FMRI
online         Nov_03          svc:/network/ssh:default

Ask the operator to document all configured external ports and protocols.

If any unencrypted connections are used, this is a finding.

Implementation Procedure

Fix Text

Configure SSH to be enabled.

# svcadm enable svc:/network/ssh
