Abstract
A web server configuration is audited by selecting a configuration file and a set of target servers to be audited. The configuration file includes configuration settings to be audited for, and expected values for the configuration settings. The configuration file may be reconfigured by a user to include appropriate configuration settings and expected values. The configuration settings and expected values are compared to actual values of the configuration settings for the target server. Audit results are determined based on the comparison. The results are included in a report with the corresponding configuration settings.
