Discussion

Ensuring the integrity of transmitted information requires the operating system take feasible measures to employ transmission layer security. This requirement applies to communications across internal and external networks.

Check Content

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.

Fix Text

Configure SSH to be enabled.

# svcadm enable svc:/network/ssh
