The ALG providing proxied connections using PKI-based authentication must map the authenticated identity to the user account for PKI-based authentication.

Description
Authorization for access to any network element requires an approved and assigned individual account identifier. To ensure only the assigned individual is using the account, the account must be bound to a user certificate when PKI-based authentication is implemented. This requirement applies to ALGs that provide user authentication proxy services (e.g., authentication gateway or TLS/SSL gateway). This does not apply to authentication for the purpose of configuring the device itself (device management).

Details

Check Text ( C-SRG-NET-000166-ALG-000101_chk )
If the ALG does not provide user authentication proxy services, this is not a finding. Verify the ALG maps the authenticated identity to the user account for PKI-based authentication. If the ALG does not map the authenticated identity to the user account for PKI-based authentication, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-SRG-NET-000166-ALG-000101_fix)
Configure the ALG to map the authenticated identity to the user account for PKI-based authentication.
