The evaluators analyzed the developer’s test coverage analysis and found it to be complete
and accurate. The correspondence between the tests identified in the developer’s test
documentation and the functional specification 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 is the
following list of EWA-Canada test goals:
a. 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;
b. 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;
c. Account Management and Secure Auditing: The objective of this test goal is to exercise
the TOE’s claimed user account management and audit functionality;
d. Management of Security Parameters: The objective of this test goal is to verify that
password composition and login attempt rules are enforced; and
e. User Data Protection: The objective of this test goal is to verify that user data is protected
from unauthorized access using groups and roles.
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:
a. Port Scanning: The objective of this test goal is to use automated vulnerability scanning
tools to determine which services are listening or available. An attempt to obtain a
signature of the host operating system is also performed; and
b. Misuse by TOE user: The objective of this test goal is to verify that an operator of the
TOE, while not intentionally malicious, is prevented from disrupting the proper operation
of the TOE through invalid use of processes or configuration parameters.
