Vulnerability discussion

For user certificates, each organization obtains certificates from an approved, shared service provider, as required by OMB policy. For federal agencies operating a legacy public key infrastructure cross-certified with the Federal Bridge Certification Authority at medium assurance or higher, this Certification Authority will suffice.

Check content

Review the device configuration. This can be checked using the GUI: Log on to the device and navigate to Config >> System >> Settings >> Web Certificate. In the certificate pane, view the issuer information. If each certificate is not issued by an approved service provider, this is a finding.

Fix text

Only import public key certificates from an appropriate certificate policy through an approved service provider. Use the commands "import ssl-cert" and "import ssl-key" or "slb ssl-load" to import SSL certificates and keys.

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.
