Check content

Determine if the network device accepts PIV credentials. This requirement may be verified by demonstration. This requirement may be met through use of a properly configured authentication server if the device is configured to use the authentication server. If the network device does not accept PIV credentials, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the network device or its associated authentication server to accept PIV credentials.

Pro Tips
