Vulnerability discussion

The banner must be acknowledged by the user prior to allowing the user access to the network. This provides assurance that the user has seen the message and accepted the conditions for access. If the consent banner is not acknowledged by the user, DoD will not be in compliance with system use notifications required by law.To establish acceptance of the application usage policy, a click-through banner at application logon is required. The network element must prevent further activity until the user executes a positive action to manifest agreement by clicking on a box indicating "OK".This policy only applies to gateways (e.g., identity management or authentication gateways) that provide user account services as part of the intermediary services.

Check content

If CounterACT does not provide user access control intermediary services, this is not applicable.

Log in to CounterACT’s Administrator UI. 2. Go to Tools >> Options >> User Console and Options >> Password and Logon. 3. Verify the options for logon banner "require confirmation" is selected. If CounterACT does not retain the Standard Mandatory DoD-approved Notice and Consent Banner on the screen until users acknowledge the usage conditions and take explicit actions to log on for further access, 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.
