Rule version SYMP-NM-000200 · STIG v1 · 2019-12-20

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.

1. Log on to the Web Management Console. 2. Click Services >> Management Services, click on HTTPS-Console and click "Edit". 3. Note the name of the "keyring" assigned. 4. Click Configuration >> SSL >> Keyrings. 5. Select the keyring that was noted above, click "View Certificate". 6. Confirm that the certificate is issued by the appropriate certificate authority.

If Symantec ProxySG does not obtain its public key certificates from an appropriate certificate policy through an approved service provider, this is a finding.
