The WebSphere Application Server security auditing must be enabled.

Rule version WBSP-AS-000070 · STIG v2 · 2026-08-27

Discussion

Security auditing will not be performed unless the audit security subsystem has been enabled. Global security must be enabled for the security audit subsystem to function, as no security auditing occurs if global security is not also enabled. Enable global security before enabling security auditing.
