1 Identification of Target of Evaluation
The Target of Evaluation (TOE) for this EAL 2+ evaluation is BMC Atrium® Discovery and
Dependency Mapping 10.0 (hereafter referred to as BMC Atrium® Discovery), from BMC
Software, Inc..
2 TOE Description
BMC Atrium® Discovery is a software-only TOE that is provided to customers as a virtual
appliance in the Open Virtualization Format. The TOE automatically discovers physical and
virtual servers, applications, and network devices and correlates the relationships between
them. The TOE uses an agent-less approach to build a complete topology of applications and
infrastructure, including servers, operating systems, software, network devices, business
applications, and dependencies, and updates the topology as often as needed. For more
detailed discovery of Windows-based platforms, the TOE employs a Windows proxy
installed on a Windows system. The TOE includes two cryptographic modules that are used
to secure communications between the TOE components and between the TOE and the IT
environment.

6.1 Secure Usage Assumptions
The following Secure Usage Assumptions are listed in the ST:
• One or more authorized administrators will be assigned to install, configure and
manage the TOE and the security of the information it contains.
• Users of the TOE are not careless, willfully negligent, or hostile and will follow and
abide by the instructions provided by the guidance documentation.
6.2 Environmental Assumptions
The following Environmental Assumptions are listed in the ST:
• The TOE will be installed in a manner that will limit physical access to authorized
users.
• All supporting operational environment components have had all current security
patches (if applicable) applied, and the Administrator has configured the inherent
component security mechanisms to their most restrictive settings that will still permit
TOE functionality and interoperability. Any such patch must not interfere with the
correct functioning of TOE’s interfaces to the supporting operational environment
components.
• The processing resources of the TOE will be located within facilities providing
controlled access to prevent unauthorized physical access.
• The operational environment will provide reliable system time to the TOE.

9 Evaluation Analysis Activities
The evaluation analysis activities involved a structured evaluation of BMC Atrium®
Discovery, including the following areas:
Development: The evaluators analyzed the BMC Atrium® Discovery 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 BMC Atrium® Discovery security architectural description and determined that
the initialization process is secure, 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 BMC Atrium® Discovery 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 BMC Atrium® Discovery configuration management
system and associated documentation was performed. The evaluators found that the BMC
Atrium® Discovery configuration items were clearly marked.
The evaluators examined the delivery documentation and determined that it described all of
the procedures required to maintain the integrity of BMC Atrium® Discovery during
distribution to the consumer.
The evaluators reviewed the flaw remediation procedures used by developer for the BMC
Atrium® Discovery. During a site visit, the evaluators also examined the evidence generated
by adherence to the procedures. The evaluators concluded that the procedures are adequate to
track and correct security flaws, and distribute the flaw information and corrections to
consumers of the product.
All these evaluation activities resulted in PASS verdicts.

10 ITS Product Testing
Testing consists of the following three steps: assessing developer tests, performing
independent functional tests, and performing penetration tests.
10.1 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 ETR1
.
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.
10.2 Independent Functional Testing
During this evaluation, the evaluator developed independent functional tests by examining
design and guidance documentation.
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 test goals:
a. Repeat of Developer's Tests: The objective of this test goal is to repeat a subset of the
developer's tests; and
b. Password Re-Use History: The objective of this test goal is to verify that the rules for
password re-use are enforced by the TOE.
10.3 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. Use of automated vulnerability scanning tools to discover potential network, platform and
application layer vulnerabilities;
b. Concurrent Logins: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that concurrent logins
will not cause the TOE to malfunction; and
c. Session Management: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that the BMC Atrium®
Discovery web user interface cannot be bypassed.
The independent penetration testing did not uncover any exploitable vulnerabilities in the
intended operating environment.
