Description
Use of cryptography to provide confidentiality and non-repudiation is not effective unless strong methods are employed with its use. Many earlier encryption methods and modules have been broken and/or overtaken by increasing computing power. The NIST FIPS 140-2 cryptographic standards provide proven methods and strengths to employ cryptography effectively.

Check Text ( C-43483r667925_chk )
At the command prompt, execute the following command: grep 'ssl.cipher-list' /opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf If the return value for "ssl.cipher-list" is not set to "FIPS: +3DES:!aNULL", this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-43442r667926_fix)
Navigate to and open /opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf file Configure the lighttpd.conf file with the following: ssl.cipher-list = "FIPS: +3DES:!aNULL"
