Check: VCTR-67-000060
VMware vSphere 6.7 vCenter STIG:
VCTR-67-000060
(in versions v1 r4 through v1 r1)
Title
The vCenter Server must enable revocation checking for certificate-based authentication. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
The system must establish the validity of the user-supplied identity certificate using OCSP and/or CRL revocation checking.
Check Content
From the vSphere Client, go to Administration >> Single Sign-On >> Configuration >> Smart Card Authentication. Under Smart card authentication settings >> Certificate revocation, verify that "Revocation check" does not show as disabled. If "Revocation check" shows as disabled, this is a finding.
Fix Text
From the vSphere Client, go to Administration >> Single Sign-On > Configuration >> Smart Card Authentication. Under Smart card authentication settings >> Certificate revocation, click the "Edit" button. By default, the PSC will use the CRL from the certificate to check revocation check status. OCSP with CRL fallback is recommended, but this setting is site specific and should be configured appropriately.
