Description
To mitigate the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information by entities that have been issued certificates by DoD-approved PKIs, all DoD systems must be properly configured to incorporate access control methods that do not rely solely on the possession of a certificate for access. Successful authentication must not automatically give an entity access to an asset or security boundary. Authorization procedures and controls must be implemented to ensure each authenticated entity also has a validated and current authorization. Authorization is the process of determining whether an entity, once authenticated, is permitted to access a specific asset. Network devices use access control policies and enforcement mechanisms to implement this requirement. Access control policies include identity-based policies, role-based policies, and attribute-based policies. Access enforcement mechanisms include access control lists, access control matrices, and cryptography. These policies and mechanisms must be employed by the network device to control access between administrators (or processes acting on behalf of administrators) and objects (e.g., device commands, files, records, processes) in the network device. The access policies must include protecting the data in all three states, i.e. Data at rest , data in use and data in motion. An example of each state can be seen through the use of a configuration setting or file for ONTAP. When stored, the data is at rest. When the data is being updated either through CLI or some web frontend, the data is in use and when the configuration is being transmitted to the devices being managed, the data is in transit.

Who does this work

17 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.

Check Text (C-246927r1137874_chk)

Use "security login show" to see all configured users and their roles. Use "security login role show" to see specific commands allowed for each role. If ONTAP does not enforce administrator privileges based on their defined roles, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-50313r769112_fix)

Configure roles with "security login role create -role <name>" to create new roles, and "security login create -user-or-group-name <user_name> -role <name>" to assign the role to a specific user or group.
