Check Content

Log on to the OS of the JBoss server with OS permissions that allow access to JBoss.
Using the relevant OS commands and syntax, cd to the <JBOSS_HOME>/bin/ folder.
Run the jboss-cli script to start the Command Line Interface (CLI). 
Connect to the server and authenticate.
Run the command:

For a Managed Domain configuration:
"ls host=master/server=<SERVERNAME>/core-service=management/access=audit/logger=audit-log:write-attribute(name=enabled,value=true)"

For a Standalone configuration:
"ls /core-service=management/access=audit/logger=audit-log:write-attribute(name=enabled,value=true)"

If "enabled" = false, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Launch the jboss-cli management interface.
Connect to the server by typing "connect", authenticate as a user in the Superuser role and run the following command:

For a Managed Domain configuration:
"host=master/server/<SERVERNAME>/core-service=management/access=audit/logger=audit-log:write-attribute(name=enabled,value=true)"

For a Standalone configuration:
"/core-service=management/access=audit/logger=audit-log:write-attribute(name=enabled,value=true)"
