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 file.
Procedure:
# grep -i '^tls_cert' /etc/ldap.conf

Check the group ownership.
Procedure:
# ls -lL <certpath>

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

Fix Text

Change the group ownership of the file.

Procedure:
# chgrp root <certpath>
