10 Evaluation Analysis Activities
The evaluation analysis activities involved a structured evaluation of DRA 8.6, including the
following areas:
Development: The evaluators analyzed the DRA 8.6 functional specification and design
documentation; they determined that the design completely and accurately describes the TOE
security functionality (TSF) interfaces, the TSF subsystems and how the TSF implements the
security functional requirements (SFRs). The evaluators analyzed the DRA 8.6 security
architectural description and determined that the initialization process is secure and that the
security functions are protected against tamper and bypass, and that security domains are
maintained. The evaluators also independently verified that the correspondence mappings
between the design documents are correct.
Guidance Documents: The evaluators examined the DRA 8.6 preparative user guidance and
operational user guidance and determined that it sufficiently and unambiguously describes
how to securely transform the TOE into its evaluated configuration and how to use and
administer the product. The evaluators examined and tested the preparative and operational
guidance, and determined that they are complete and sufficiently detailed to result in a secure
configuration.
Life-Cycle Support: An analysis of the DRA 8.6 configuration management system and
associated documentation was performed. The evaluators found that the DRA 8.6
configuration items were clearly marked and that the access control measures as described in
CCS Certification Report NetIQ Corporation
DRA 8.6

Version 1.0 4 April 2011
- Page 5 of 8 -
the configuration management documentation are effective in preventing unauthorized access
to the configuration items. The developer’s configuration management system was also
observed during the site visit, and it was found to be mature and well developed.
During the site visit the evaluators examined the development security procedures and
determined that they detailed sufficient security measures for the development environment
to protect the confidentiality and integrity of the DRA 8.6 design and implementation.
The evaluators examined the delivery documentation and determined that it described all of
the procedures required to maintain the integrity of DRA 8.6 during distribution to the
consumer.
Vulnerability Assessment: The evaluators conducted an independent vulnerability analysis
of DRA 8.6. Additionally, the evaluators conducted a review of public domain vulnerability
databases, and a search of all evaluation deliverables. The evaluators identified potential
vulnerabilities for testing applicable to DRA 8.6 in its operational environment.
All these evaluation activities resulted in PASS verdicts.
11 ITS Product Testing
Testing at EAL 2 consists of the following three steps: assessing developer tests, performing
independent functional tests, and performing penetration tests.
11.1 Assessment of Developer Tests
The evaluators verified that the developer has met their testing responsibilities by examining
their test evidence, and reviewing their test results, as documented in the ETR2
.
The evaluators analyzed the developer’s test coverage and found it to be complete and
accurate. The correspondence between the tests identified in the developer’s test
documentation and the functional specification and TOE design was complete.
11.2 Independent Functional Testing
During this evaluation, the evaluator developed independent functional tests by examining
design and guidance documentation, examining the developer's test documentation,
executing a sample of the developer's test cases, and creating test cases that augmented the
developer tests.

All testing was planned and documented to a sufficient level of detail to allow repeatability
of the testing procedures and results. Resulting from this test coverage approach was the
following list of EWA-Canada test goals:
a. Initialization: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that the TOE can be installed
and configured into the evaluated configuration, as identified in the TOE Description of
the Security Target, by following all instructions in the developer’s Installation and
Administrative guidance;
b. Repeat of Developer's Tests: The objective of this test goal is to repeat a subset of the
developer's tests on the evaluator’s TOE installation; and
c. Claimed Functionality: The objective of this test goal is to exercise the TOE claimed
functionality by verifying that administrator actions are recorded.
11.3 Independent Penetration Testing
Subsequent to the independent review of public domain vulnerability databases and all
evaluation deliverables, limited independent evaluator penetration testing was conducted.
The penetration tests focused on port scanning. The independent penetration testing did not
uncover any exploitable vulnerabilities in the intended operating environment.
11.4 Conduct of Testing
DRA 8.6 was subjected to a comprehensive suite of formally documented, independent
functional and penetration tests. The testing took place at the Information Technology
Security Evaluation and Testing (ITSET) Facility at EWA-Canada. The CCS Certification
Body witnessed a portion of the independent testing. The detailed testing activities, including
configurations, procedures, test cases, expected results and observed results are documented
in a separate Test Results document.
11.5 Testing Results
The developer’s tests and the independent functional tests yielded the expected results,
giving assurance that DRA 8.6 behaves as specified in its ST, functional specification, TOE
design, and security architecture description.
12 Results of the Evaluation
This evaluation has provided the basis for an EAL 2 level of assurance. The overall verdict
for the evaluation is PASS. These results are supported by evidence in the ETR.
