Description

Operating systems utilizing encryption are required to use FIPS-compliant mechanisms for authenticating to cryptographic modules.

ℹ️ Check

If there is no FTP Server active, this is not applicable. Examine the "DTCPARMS" file for each active FTP server. If there is ":ANONYMOUS" or ":ANONYMOU" statement, this is a finding. Examine the "SRVRFTP" command. If "ANONYMOU" is coded, this is a finding.

✔️ Fix

Ensure the ":ANONYMOUS" or ":ANONYMOU" statement is not coded in the "DTCPARMS" or "SRVRFTP" command.
