Title

The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to obtain its public key certificates from an appropriate certificate policy through an approved service provider. (Cat II impact)

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 Content

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.
