All MobileIron Core MDM server cryptography supporting DoD functionality must be configured to use FIPS 140-2 validated encryption modules.

Description
Unapproved cryptographic algorithms cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DoD data could be compromised as a result. The most common vulnerabilities with cryptographic modules are those associated with poor implementation. FIPS 140-2 validation provides assurance that the relevant cryptography has been implemented correctly. FIPS 140-2 validation is also a strict requirement for use of cryptography in the Federal Government for protecting unclassified data. SFR ID: FCS

Details

Check Text ( C-70917r1_chk )
Check the MobileIron Core Server to verify it has been configured to use a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module.

1. SSH to MobileIron Core Server from any SSH client.
2. Enter the administrator credentials you set when you installed MobileIron Core.
3. Enter "show fips".
4. Verify "FIPS 140 mode is enabled" is displayed.

If the MobileIron Server Core does not report that fips mode is enabled, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-76755r1_fix)
Configure the MobileIron Core Server to use a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module.

1. SSH to MobileIron Core Server from any SSH client.
2. Enter the administrator credentials set up when the MobileIron Core was installed.
3. Enter "enable".
4. When prompted, enter the "enable" secret set up when the MobileIron Core was installed.
5. Enter "configure terminal".
6. Enter the following command to enable FIPS: "fips"
7. Enter the following command to proceed with the necessary reload: "do reload"
