Ask the BlackBerry system administrator if the site uses BlackBerry Wi-Fi to connect to DoD WLAN. If yes, verify the following actions have occurred: 1. Determine which BlackBerry users have been approved to use BlackBerry Wi-Fi to connect to the DoD WLAN. Ask the ISSO or BlackBerry SA for names of site BlackBerry users that have been authorized to use BlackBerry Wi-Fi Service. 2. Verify these users have been assigned a WLAN Configuration Set (profile). Verify that authorized users have been assigned a WLAN profile as follows (select two or three users to check). - On the BAS, in the BlackBerry solution management box, expand "User" and click on "Manage users". Then, click on search in the center screen. A list of all users assigned to the BES will be available. - Click the user account to verify a WLAN profile has been assigned. - Click on the "WLAN configuration" tab. - Look to see the name of the WLAN configuration (profile) that has been assigned to the user (if any). -Verify each assigned WLAN Configuration Set (profile) is configured as required. The required configuration is listed in Table C-2 of the BlackBerry STIG Overview (see procedure below). 3. Verify each assigned WLAN Configuration Set (profile) is configured as required. The required configuration is listed in Table C-2 of the BlackBerry STIG Overview (see procedure below). If any user accounts authorized for WLAN do not have a WLAN configuration assigned to the account, this is a finding. The setup of each WLAN Configuration Set on the BES can be viewed as follows: - BAS >> BlackBerry solution management box >> Policy >> WLAN configuration >> Manage WLAN configurations. - For each listed WLAN configuration to be checked, click on the configuration, then click on the "WLAN configuration data" tab. - Verify rules are set as shown in Table C-2 (only rules with "Required" settings need to be verified). If the WLAN profile has not been configured as required, 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.
