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

The operator shall determine if IPsec is being used to encrypt data for activities such as cluster interconnects or other non-SSH, SFTP data connections.

On both systems review the file /etc/inet/ipsecinit.conf. Ensure that connections between hosts are configured properly in this file per the Solaris 11 documentation.

Check that the IPsec policy service is online:

# svcs svc:/network/ipsec/policy:default

If the IPsec service is not online, this is a finding.

If encrypted protocols are not used between systems, this is a finding.

Fix Text

The Service Management profile is required.

Configure IPsec encrypted tunneling between two systems.

On both systems review the file /etc/inet/ipsecinit.conf. Ensure that connections between hosts are configured properly in this file per the Solaris 11 documentation.

Ensure that the IPsec policy service is online:

Enable the IPsec service:

# svcadm enable svc:/network/ipsec/policy:default
