Discussion

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 at medium assurance or higher, this certification authority will suffice.

Check

Go to Configuration >> Appliance Security >> Encryption Key Management.

Under the "Local Credentials" tab, look for the "Apache SSL certificate".

Under the "Action" column, click the drop-down menu and select "View Certificate".

Verify the Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) format for the certificate and key match the certification authority-provided certificate and the certificate is signed by a DOD-approved certificate authority.

If this is not true, this is a finding.

Fix

Go to Configuration >> Appliance Security >> Encryption Key Management.

Under the "Local Credentials" tab, look for the "Apache SSL certificate".

Under the "Action" column, click the drop-down menu and select "Change Key/Cert".

Paste the private key and certificate in PEM format and click "Save".
