SV-71821r2_rule The application server must use DoD- or CNSS-approved PKI Class 3 or Class 4 certificates.

Vulnerability discussion

Class 3 PKI certificates are used for servers and software signing rather than for identifying individuals. Class 4 certificates are used for business-to-business transactions. Utilizing unapproved certificates not issued or approved by DoD or CNS creates an integrity risk. The application server must utilize approved DoD or CNS Class 3 or Class 4 certificates for software signing and business-to-business transactions.

Check content

Review the application server configuration to determine if the application server utilizes approved PKI Class 3 or Class 4 certificates. If the application server is not configured to use approved DoD or CNS certificates, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the application server to use DoD- or CNSS-approved Class 3 or Class 4 PKI certificates.

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.
