SV-80711r1_rule The HP FlexFabric Switch must map the authenticated identity to the user account for PKI-based authentication.

Vulnerability discussion

Authorization for access to any network device requires an approved and assigned individual account identifier. To ensure only the assigned individual is using the account, the account must be bound to a user certificate when PKI-based authentication is implemented.

Check content

Determine if the HP FlexFabric Switch maps the authenticated identity to the user account for PKI-based authentication. [HP] display ssh user-information Total ssh users: 3 Username Authentication-type User-public-key-name Service-type pkiuser password-publickey hp all If the HP FlexFabric Switch does not map the authenticated identity to the user account for PKI-based authentication, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the HP FlexFabric Switch to map the authenticated identity to the user account for PKI-based authentication. Configure PKI entity: [HP] pki entity HP [HP-pki-entity-HP] common-name HP [HP-pki-entity-HP] country US [HP-pki-entity-HP] locality Littleton [HP-pki-entity-HP] organization-unit STG [HP-pki-entity-HP] organization HP [HP-pki-entity-HP] state MA [HP-pki-entity-HP] ip 15.252.76.101 [HP-pki-entity-HP] quit Configure PKI domain: [HP] pki domain HP [HP-pki-domain-HP] certificate request entity HP [HP-pki-domain-HP] public-key rsa general name hostkey [HP-pki-domain-HP] source ip 15.252.76.101 [HP-pki-domain-HP] undo crl check enable [HP-pki-domain-HP] quit Submit certificate request on the switch: [HP] pki request-certificate domain HP pkcs10 Transfer and import downloaded CA and user certificates to the switch: [HP] pki import domain jitc pem ca filename rae-root-ca.cer [HP] pki import domain jitc pem local filename HP.cer Configure a local user: [HP] local-user pkiuser [HP-luser-pkiuser] service-type ssh [HP-luser-pkiuser] authorization-attribute user-role network-admin [HP-luser-pkiuser] password Set this user as an SSH user and set authentication type to password-public key and assign pki domain: [HP] ssh user pkiuser service-type all authentication-type password-publickey assign pki-domain hp Note: Configuration required on the server side is not covered here.

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.
