Description
To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, privileged and non-privileged users must utilize multifactor authentication to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Multifactor authentication uses two or more factors to achieve authentication. Factors include: 1. Something you know (e.g., password/PIN); 2. Something you have (e.g., cryptographic identification device, token); and 3. Something you are (e.g., biometric). The DoD CAC with DoD-approved PKI is an example of multifactor authentication.

Who does this work

10 NICE work roles and 9 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Verify /etc/security/pmfa/pam_pmfa.conf is configured correctly. # grep -i "trustedcas" /etc/security/pmfa/pam_pmfa.conf | grep -v '#' TRUSTEDCAS = /<path_to_file>/server_ca.pem Note: Verify with the SA/ISSO as to the location of the "server_ca.pem" file. If "TRUSTEDCAS" is not configured to point to a valid "server_ca.pem" file or is missing, this is a finding. # grep -i "mfa-url" /etc/security/pmfa/pam_pmfa.conf | grep -v '#' MFA-URL = https://pmfa.example.com:6793/policyAuth/ If the "MFA-URL" is missing or does not point to a valid address, this is a finding. # grep -i "server-version" /etc/security/pmfa/pam_pmfa.conf | grep -v '#' SERVER-VERSION = 2 If "SERVER-VERSION" is missing or is not set to "2", this is a finding. # grep -i "ctc-prompt" /etc/security/pmfa/pam_pmfa.conf | grep -v '#' CTC-PROMPT-ONLY = Y If "CTC-PROMPT-ONLY" is missing or is not set to "Y", this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-16635r294769_fix)

Add or update the following lines in the "/etc/security/pmfa/pam_pmfa.conf" file: TRUSTEDCAS = /<path_to_file>/server_ca.pem Note: Verify with the SA/ISSO as to the location of the "server_ca.pem" file. MFA-URL = https://pmfa.example.com:6793/policyAuth/ SERVER-VERSION = 2 CTC-PROMPT-ONLY = Y
