SV-84565r1_rule Exchange Servers must use approved DoD certificates.

Vulnerability discussion

Server certificates are required for many security features in Exchange; without them, the server cannot engage in many forms of secure communication. Failure to implement valid certificates makes it virtually impossible to secure Exchange's communications.

Check content

Open the Exchange Management Shell and enter the following command: Get-ExchangeCertificate | Select CertificateDomains, issuer If the value of CertificateDomains does not indicate it is issued by the DoD, this is a finding.

Fix text

Remove the non-DoD certificate and import the correct DoD certificates.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
