Check Contents

The default location for the keystore used by the JBoss vault is the <JBOSS_HOME>/vault/ folder.

If a vault keystore has been created, by default it will be in the file: <JBOSS_HOME>/vault/vault.keystore. The file stores a single key, with the default alias vault, which will be used to store encrypted strings, such as passwords, for JBoss EAP.

Browse to the JBoss vault folder using the relevant OS commands.
Review the file permissions and ensure only system administrators and JBoss users are allowed access.

Owner can be full access
Group can be full access
All others must be restricted to execute access or no permission.

If non-system administrators are allowed to access the <JBOSS_HOME>/vault/
folder, this is a finding.

The JBoss server must be configured to restrict access to the web servers private key to authenticated system administrators.
