Citrix StoreFront server must accept Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials.

Rule version CVAD-SF-000855 · STIG v1 · 2021-02-01

Discussion

The use of PIV credentials facilitates standardization and reduces the risk of unauthorized access.

DoD has mandated the use of the Common Access Card (CAC) to support identity management and personal authentication for systems covered under HSPD 12, as well as a primary component of layered protection for national security systems.
