Information

Windows Server 2022 must be configured for name-based strong mappings for certificates.

GROUP ID: V-271427
RULE ID: SV-271427r1059560

Weak mappings give rise to security vulnerabilities and demand hardening measures. Certificate names must be correctly mapped to the intended user account in Active Directory. A lack of strong name-based mappings allows certain weak certificate mappings, such as Issuer/Subject AltSecID and User Principal Names (UPN) mappings, to be treated as strong mappings.

Solution

Configure the policy value for

Computer Configuration >> Administrative Template >> System >> KDC >> Allow name-based strong mappings for certificates to 'Enabled'
