The DataPower Gateway providing user authentication intermediary services must conform to FICAM-issued profiles.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-65267	WSDP-AG-000097	SV-79757r1_rule		Medium

Description
Without conforming to Federal Identity, Credential, and Access Management (FICAM)-issued profiles, the information system may not be interoperable with FICAM-authentication protocols, such as SAML 2.0 and OpenID 2.0. Use of FICAM-issued profiles addresses open identity management standards. 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).
