IBM DataPower Network Device Management STIG: WSDP-NM-000065 (in versions v1 r2 through v1 r1)

Title

The DataPower Gateway must map the authenticated identity to the user account for PKI-based authentication. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Authorization for access to any network device requires an approved and assigned individual account identifier. To ensure only the assigned individual is using the account, the account must be bound to a user certificate when PKI-based authentication is implemented.

Check Content

Search Bar “RBM” >> RBM Settings. Check that the Authentication method list has the User certificate selected. If not, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Search Bar “RBM” >> RBM Settings. Click User certificate in the Authentication method list.
