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

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-221514 OH12-1X-000299 SV-221514r879798_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.
