Information

The Cisco switch must be configured to obtain its public key certificates from an appropriate certificate policy through an approved service provider.

GROUP ID: V-220515
RULE ID: SV-220515r991969

For user certificates, each organization obtains certificates from an approved, shared service provider, as required by OMB policy. For federal agencies operating a legacy public key infrastructure cross-certified with the Federal Bridge Certification Authority (CA) at medium assurance or higher, this CA will suffice.

NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Ensure that certificate requests are only sent to DOD or DOD-approved service providers.
