| Access may be denied to legitimate users if Federal Identity, Credential, and Access Management (FICAM)-approved third-party credentials are not accepted.
Third-party credentials are those credentials issued by non-federal government entities approved by the FICAM Trust Framework Solutions initiative.
This requirement typically applies to organizational information systems that are accessible to non-federal government agencies and other partners. This allows federal government relying parties to trust such credentials at their approved assurance levels.
This requirement only applies to components where this is specific to the function of the device or has the concept of a non-organizational user, (e.g., ALG capability that is the front end for an application in a DMZ). This does not apply to authentication for the purpose of configuring the device itself (i.e., device management). |
