Discussion

LDAP can be used to provide user authentication and account information, which are vital to system security. The LDAP client configuration must be protected from unauthorized modification.

Check Content

Determine the certificate authority file and/or directory.

Procedure:
# grep -i '^tls_cacert' /etc/ldap.conf
For each file or directory returned, check the permissions.

Procedure:
# ls -lLd <certpath>

If the mode of the file is more permissive than 0644 (or 0755 for directories), this is a finding.

Fix Text

Change the mode of the file or directory.

File Procedure:
# chmod 0644 <certpath> 

Directory Procedure:
# chmod 0755 <certpath>
