The DNS implementation must map the authenticated identity to the user account for PKI-based authentication.

Description
The cornerstone of the PKI is the private key used to encrypt or digitally sign information. The key by itself is a cryptographic value that does not contain specific user information. The authenticated identity must be mapped to a corresponding user account for access and authorization decisions. If an account is not mapped appropriately, the validity of the authentication process is in question.

Check Text ( C-42077r1_chk )
Review DNS PKI configuration to verify DNS user accounts are being mapped directly to authenticated identity information being passed via the PKI. If user accounts are not being mapped to authenticated identity information being passed via the PKI, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-38027r1_fix)
Configure the DNS PKI implementation to map the authenticated identity to the user account.
