Puppet Class: cis_security_hardening::rules::disable_rds

Defined in:
manifests/rules/disable_rds.pp

Summary

Ensure RDS is disabled

Overview

The Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) protocol is a transport layer protocol designed to provide low-latency, high-bandwidth communications between cluster nodes. It was developed by the Oracle Corporation.

Rationale: If the protocol is not being used, it is recommended that kernel module not be loaded, disabling the service to reduce the potential attack surface.

Examples:

class { 'cis_security_hardening::rules::disable_rds':
    enforce => true,
}

Parameters:

  • enforce (Boolean) (defaults to: false) —

    Enforce the rule
