OHS must have the LoadModule ossl_module directive enabled so SSL requests can be processed with client certificates only issued by DoD PKI or DoD-approved PKI Certification Authorities (CAs).

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-64517	OH12-1X-000298	SV-79007r1_rule		Medium

Description
Non-DoD approved PKIs have not been evaluated to ensure that they have security controls and identity vetting procedures in place which are sufficient for DoD systems to rely on the identity asserted in the certificate. PKIs lacking sufficient security controls and identity vetting procedures risk being compromised and issuing certificates that enable adversaries to impersonate legitimate users.
