Set Up JBoss Server Authentication

We support vulnerability and compliance scans for JBoss servers. Simply create a JBoss Server record with details about your JBoss installation and operating mode. The same record may include details for both Windows and Unix installations.

System created authentication records

Did you know? You can allow the system to create JBoss Server authentication records for auto discovered instances and scan them.

Which technologies are supported?

For the most current list of supported authentication technologies and the versions that have been certified for VM and PC by record type, please refer to the following article: 

Authentication Technologies Matrix

How do I get started?

- Go to Scans > Authentication.

- Check that you already have a record defined for each host running a JBoss server. For Windows hosts, a Windows record is required, and the record must have domain type "NetBIOS, User-Selected IPs" with the IP address assigned or the domain type "NetBIOS, Service-Selected IPs". For Unix hosts, a Unix record is required and must have the IP address assigned.

- Create a JBoss Server record for the same host (IP). Go to New > Applications > JBoss Server.

- Before launching a vulnerability scan pick Windows, Unix and JBoss Server authentication in your option profile. (All authentication options are used automatically for compliance scans.)

Note: If the Network Support feature is enabled, then the Windows/Unix record must have the same network selected as the JBoss server record.

Managers can add authentication records. Unit Managers must be granted the permission Create/edit authentication records/vaults.

Windows/Unix Configuration

Choose the Domain Controller operating mode to manage multiple JBoss Application Server instances from a single control point. You'll need to tell us where the Root directory, Base directory and Domain controller are installed.

Sample Configurations
