Fix Recommendation

Configure the Cassandra Server to produce audit records when other errors prevent access to privileges/permissions/role membership.

At the command line execute the following command:

# sed -i 's/^\(\s*\)<root level=".*">\(\s*\)$/\1<root level="ALL">\2/' /usr/lib/vmware-vcops/user/conf/cassandra/logback.xml

Check Contents

Review the Cassandra Server settings to ensure that audit records can be produced when the system denies or fails to complete attempts to retrieve privileges/permissions/role membership.

At the command prompt, execute the following command:

# grep '<root' /usr/lib/vmware-vcops/user/conf/cassandra/logback.xml

If level is not set to "ALL", this is a finding.
