Description
The mobile operating system is required to display the DoD-approved system use notification message or banner before granting access to the system that provides privacy and security notices consistent with applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance. Required banners help ensure that DoD can audit and monitor the activities of mobile device users without legal restriction. System use notification messages can be displayed when individuals first access or unlock the mobile device. The banner shall be implemented as a "click-through" banner at device unlock (to the extent permitted by the operating system). A "click through" banner prevents further activity on the information system unless and until the user executes a positive action to manifest agreement by clicking on a box indicating “OK.” The approved DoD text must be used exactly as specified in the DoDI 8500.01. For devices accommodating banners of 1300 characters, the banner text is: You are accessing a U.S. Government (USG) Information System (IS) that is provided for USG-authorized use only. By using this IS (which includes any device attached to this IS), you consent to the following conditions: -The USG routinely intercepts and monitors communications on this IS for purposes including, but not limited to, penetration testing, COMSEC monitoring, network operations and defense, personnel misconduct (PM), law enforcement (LE), and counterintelligence (CI) investigations. -At any time, the USG may inspect and seize data stored on this IS. -Communications using, or data stored on, this IS are not private, are subject to routine monitoring, interception, and search, and may be disclosed or used for any USG-authorized purpose. -This IS includes security measures (e.g., authentication and access controls) to protect USG interests--not for your personal benefit or privacy. -Notwithstanding the above, using this IS does not constitute consent to PM, LE or CI investigative searching or monitoring of the content of privileged communications, or work product, related to personal representation or services by attorneys, psychotherapists, or clergy, and their assistants. Such communications and work product are private and confidential. See User Agreement for details. For Blackberries and other PDAs/PEDs with severe character limitations, the banner text is: I've read & consent to terms in IS user agreem't. The administrator must configure the banner text exactly as written without any changes. SFR ID: FMT_SMF.1.1 #24

Check Text ( C-59631r2_chk )
Note: the following procedure is exactly the same as requirement LGA5-20-001300. The procedure only needs to be performed once.

This validation procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration Console and the LG Android device.

Check whether the appropriate setting is configured on the MDM Administration Console:
1. Ask the MDM administrator to display the "Enforce warning banner" setting in the MDM console.
2. Verify the Enforce warning banner has been set up and the wording is exactly as specified in the Vulnerability Discussion.

On the LG Android device:
1. Reboot the device and verify the warning banner is displayed.
2. Verify the required text is displayed and the user must click "Agree" after checking "I understand and agree to this".

If the "Enforce warning banner" setting is not set, does not show the required text, or if device does not show the Warning banner after every device reboot, this is a finding.
