I'm hoping someone can figure out something that I'm missing when trying
to get the Windows compliance checks working (UNIX works fine).
Nessus Server:
CentOS 4.4
Nessus 3.0.3 (RedHat ES4 rpm)
Nessus Direct Feed
Nessus Client:
Fedora Core 6
NessusClient 1.0.2
Policy Info (brief):
Plugins:
Windows Compliance Checks Plugin - enabled
Enable dependencies at runtime - enabled
Silent dependencies - enabled
Crendentials:
SMB account - specified (local admin)
SMB password - specified
SMB domain - specified
Target selection:
Target: Single Windows XP SP2 host
Prefs:
Windows Compliance Checks:
Policy file #1: federal_nsa_microsoft_xp_user_right_assignment.audit
Policy file #2: federal_audit_microsoft_windows_os_guideline.audit
I get the following error in nessusd.dump every time I try to run a scan:
[26363](compliance_check.nbin:0x161a) A non-authenticated script
attempted to use an authenticated function - returning NULL
[26363](compliance_check.nbin:0x161a)
script_get_preference_file_location: script is not authenticated!
I've tried both domain and local authenticated accounts (just local
Admin, not domain). I get entries in the Security event log for two
successful login for whatever test account I use plus a couple others
(administrator and nessus+random number). When I enable Windows checks
that check policy requiring a login, they work just fine.
Any ideas on what I'm missing?
Thanks,
Mike
