6.2 Ensure SSLEnabled is set to True for Sensitive Connectors (Automated)

Profile Applicability

• Level 1

Description

The SSLEnabled setting determines if SSL is enabled for a specific Connector. It is recommended that SSL be utilized for any Connector that sends or receives sensitive information, such as authentication credentials or personal information.

Rationale

The SSLEnabled setting ensures SSL is active, which will in-turn ensure the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information while in transit.

Audit Procedure

Review the server.xml and ensure all Connectors sending or receiving sensitive information have the SSLEnabled attribute set to true.

Remediation

In server.xml, set the SSLEnabled attribute to true for each Connector that sends or receives sensitive information

<Connector
…
SSLEnabled="true"
…
/>

Default Value

SSLEnabled is set to false.
