Discussion

The NSS LDAP service provides user mappings which are a vital component of system security. Its configuration must be protected from unauthorized modification.

Check Content

Determine the certificate file.
# grep -i '^tls_cert' /etc/ldap.conf
Check the ownership.
# ls -lL <certpath>
If the owner of the file is not root, this is a finding.

Fix Text

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