The application server must protect nonlocal maintenance sessions by separating the maintenance session from other network sessions with the system by logically separated communications paths.

Nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic activities are conducted by individuals who communicate through either an external or internal network. Communications paths can be logically separated using encryption.

Verify the application server protects nonlocal maintenance sessions by separating the maintenance session from other network sessions with the system by logically separated communications paths.

If the application server does not protect nonlocal maintenance sessions by separating the maintenance session from other network sessions with the system by logically separated communications paths, this is a finding.

Configure the application server to protect nonlocal maintenance sessions by separating the maintenance session from other network sessions with the system by logically separated communications paths.
