Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must implement replay-resistant authentication mechanisms for network access to privileged accounts.

Description
A replay attack may enable an unauthorized user to gain access to the application. Authentication sessions between the authenticator and the application validating the user credentials must not be vulnerable to a replay attack. An authentication process resists replay attacks if it is impractical to achieve a successful authentication by recording and replaying a previous authentication message. Techniques used to address this include protocols using nonces (e.g., numbers generated for a specific one-time use) or challenges (e.g., TLS, WS_Security). Additional techniques include time-synchronous or challenge-response one-time authenticators.

Check Text ( C-63705r1_chk )
Verify that RiOS is configured to implement replay resistant authentication mechanisms for network access to privileged accounts. Navigate to the device CLI Type: enable Type: show config full Type: Spacebar to tab through the configuration Verify that the following commands are contained in the configuration "no web http enable" "web https enable" "no web ssl protocol sslv3" "no web ssl protocol tlsv1" "web ssl protocol tlsv1.1" "web ssl protocol tlsv1.2" If all of the above configurations are not defined as listed, this is a finding.
