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 network device maps the authenticated identity to the user account for PKI-based authentication. This requirement may be verified by configuration review or validated test results. If the network device does not map the authenticated identity to the user account for PKI-based authentication, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the network device to map the authenticated identity to the user account for PKI-based authentication.

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.
