| 2 | # |
| 3 | # Profile Applicability |
| 4 | # --------------------- |
| 5 | # - Level 1 - Server |
| 6 | # - Level 1 - Workstation |
| 7 | # |
| 8 | # Description |
| 9 | # ----------- |
| 10 | # The HostbasedAuthentication parameter specifies if authentication is allowed through |
| 11 | # trusted hosts via the user of .rhosts , or /etc/hosts.equiv , along with successful public |
| 12 | # key client host authentication. This option only applies to SSH Protocol Version 2. |
| 13 | # |
| 14 | # Rationale |
| 15 | # --------- |
| 16 | # Even though the .rhosts files are ineffective if support is disabled in /etc/pam.conf , |
| 17 | # disabling the ability to use .rhosts files in SSH provides an additional layer of protection . |
| 18 | # |
| 19 | # Audit |
| 20 | # ----- |
| 21 | # Run the following command and verify that output matches: |
| 22 | # |
| 23 | # # grep "^HostbasedAuthentication" /etc/ssh/sshd_config |
| 24 | # HostbasedAuthentication no |
| 25 | # |
| 26 | # Remediation |
| 27 | # ----------- |
| 28 | # Edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file to set the parameter as follows: |
| 29 | # |
| 30 | # HostbasedAuthentication no |
| 31 | |
| 32 | parameters: |
| 33 | openssh: |
| 34 | server: |
| 35 | host_auth: False |
