MobileIron Sentry must use FIPS 140-2 approved algorithms for authentication to a cryptographic module.

Description
Unapproved mechanisms that are used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not validated and therefore cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DoD data may be compromised. Sentry utilizing encryption is required to use FIPS-compliant mechanisms for authenticating to cryptographic modules. FIPS 140-2 is the current standard for validating that mechanisms used to access cryptographic modules utilize authentication that meets DoD requirements. However, authentication algorithms must configure security processes to use only FIPS-approved and NIST-recommended authentication algorithms.

Check Text ( C-54430r802205_chk )
Verify the Sentry uses encryption services that implement NIST FIPS-validated cryptography to protect the confidentiality of remote access sessions. On the MobileIron Sentry CLI console, do the following: 1. SSH to MobileIron Sentry Server from any SSH client. 2. Enter the administrator credentials set at MobileIron Sentry installation. 3. Enter "enable". 4. When prompted, enter the "enable secret" set at MobileIron Sentry installation. 5. Enter "show FIPS". 6. Verify "FIPS 140 mode is enabled" is displayed. If the MobileIron Sentry Server does not report that FIPS mode is "enabled", this is a finding.
