Vulnerability discussion

Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials are those credentials issued by federal agencies that conform to FIPS Publication 201 and supporting guidance documents. OMB Memorandum 11-11 requires federal agencies to continue implementing the requirements specified in HSPD-12 to enable agency-wide use of PIV credentials. PIV credentials are only used in an unclassified environment.Access may be denied to authorized users if federal agency PIV credentials are not accepted to access the management interface.

Check content

Review the application server documentation and configuration to determine if the application server accepts PIV credentials from other federal agencies to access the management interface. If the application server does not accept other federal agency PIV credentials to access the management interface, this is a finding.

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.
