Protect authenticity and integrity
The binaries installed by iSM are signed, and the signature is verified by the iSM process at run time and before loading. The
public certificate is packaged and installed by iSM on the file system. Any verification failure of the iSM digital signature will be
logged with a critical severity. The iSM service will exit after logging the audit message as a security measure.
This is logged in the default operating system log location. The message is as follows:
SEC 0704: The authentication check operation performed by iSM has failed for the
following module or application because either the binary load path is incorrect or
the binary or configuration file is tampered, replaced, or untrusted: <list of app and
modules>.
