New Features and Improvements
New audit events for server groups
Two new audit events have been added to Halo server groups. They are "Server group added" and "Server group deleted" (called server_group_added
and server_group_deleted
in the Halo REST API). On the Site Administration page in the Halo portal, you can specify whether these events should be logged and whether their occurrence should generate alert.s.
Known Issues
The following issues are among those that remain unresolved as of this release. Any known workarounds are described.
- IE8 not supported for Halo reporting. The Halo reporting service does not function for a user who has logged into Halo using Internet Explorer 8.
Workaround: Log in with a more recent version of IE or with a different browser, or use the Halo API to construct server searches.
- Editing file integrity baseline expiration. If you want to change the expiration value when editing or re-baselining an existing baseline, the new expiration date is now calculated from the current date, rather than from the original baseline-creation date. However, if you keep the same setting (number of days) for the expiration value, the re-calculation does not occur and the expiration date remains based on the original creation date.
Workaround: Select a different expiration value and save the baseline. Then re-edit the baseline and specify your desired expiration value.
- False-positive file integrity security events can occur in Linux systems in which the
prelink
utility regularly resolves links to dynamic libraries in executable files and stores the results in the executable files, thereby modifying them. This action can create differences between the servers of a scan group and the baseline (golden master) server, thereby causing the false positives.Workarounds. Take either of the following steps:
- Manually run
prelink
on the baseline server before running the baseline scan. That should eliminate most or all false security events related toprelink
. - Turn off pre-linking on all of your servers.
- Manually run
