SV-79015r1_rule OHS must have the SSLVerifyClient directive enabled to only accept client certificates issued by DoD PKI or DoD-approved PKI Certification Authorities (CAs).

Vulnerability discussion

Non-DoD approved PKIs have not been evaluated to ensure that they have security controls and identity vetting procedures in place which are sufficient for DoD systems to rely on the identity asserted in the certificate. PKIs lacking sufficient security controls and identity vetting procedures risk being compromised and issuing certificates that enable adversaries to impersonate legitimate users.

Check content

1. Open every .conf file (e.g., ssl.conf) included in $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS//httpd.conf with an editor that requires an SSL-enabled "" directive. 2. Search for the "SSLVerifyClient" directive at the OHS server, virtual host, and/or directory configuration scopes. 3. If this directive is omitted or is not set to "require", this is a finding.

Fix text

1. Open every .conf file (e.g., ssl.conf) included in $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS//httpd.conf with an editor that requires an SSL-enabled "" directive. 2. Search for the "SSLVerifyClient" directive at the OHS server, virtual host, and/or directory configuration scope. 3. Set the "SSLVerifyClient" directive to "require", add the directive if it does not exist.

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.
