OHS must have the SSLVerifyClient directive enabled to only accept client certificates issued by DoD PKI or DoD-approved PKI Certification Authorities (CAs).

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-64525	OH12-1X-000302	SV-79015r1_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.

1. Open every .conf file (e.g., ssl.conf) included in $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS//httpd.conf with an editor that requires an SSL-enabled "" directive. 2. Search for the "SSLVerifyClient" directive at the OHS server, virtual host, and/or directory configuration scopes. 3. If this directive is omitted or is not set to "require", this is a finding.
