SV-96463r1_rule The macOS system must enable certificate for smartcards.

Vulnerability discussion

To prevent untrusted certificates the certificates on a smartcard card must be valid in these ways: its issuer is system-trusted, the certificate is not expired, its "valid-after" date is in the past, and it passes CRL and OCSP checking.

Check content

To view the setting for the smartcard certification configuration, run the following command: sudo /usr/sbin/system_profiler SPConfigurationProfileDataType | /usr/bin/grep checkCertificateTrust If the output is null or not "checkCertificateTrust = 1;" this is a finding.

Fix text

This setting is enforced using the "Smartcard" configuration profile.

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.
