The WebSphere Application Server must authenticate all network-connected endpoint devices before establishing any connection.

Description
Device authentication requires unique identification and authentication that may be defined by type, by specific device, or by a combination of type and device. Device authentication is accomplished via the use of certificates and protocols such as SSL mutual authentication. Device authentication is performed when the application server is providing web services capabilities and data protection requirements mandate the need to establish the identity of the connecting device before the connection is established. Note: with LDAP registry, the entire DN in the certificate is used to look up LDAP. Filters may be configured. With other registries, only the first attribute after the first "=", e.g., CN=<user> is used. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/prodconn_1.0.0/com.ibm.scenarios.wmqwassecure.doc/topics/implementing.htm?cp=SSEQTP_8.0.0 Satisfies: SRG-APP-000394-AS-000241, SRG-APP-000177-AS-000126

Who does this work

7 NICE work roles and 5 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.

Check Text (C-96047r1_chk)

Review System Security Plan documentation. Identify mutual authentication connection requirements. From the admin console, navigate to Security >> SSL Certificate and Key Management >> SSL Configuration. Select each [NodeDefaultSSLSettings] then go to Quality of Protection (QoP) Settings. If "Client authentication" is not set according to the security plan, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-88117r1_fix)

From the admin console, navigate to Security >> SSL Certificate and Key Management >> SSL Configuration. For each [NodeDefaultSSLSettings] select Quality of Protection (QoP) Settings. Set "Client authentication" according to the security plan.
