The WebSphere Application Server local file-based user registry must not be used.
WebSphere does not provide direct audit of changes to the built-in file registry. The built-in file registry must not be used to support user logon accounts. Use an LDAP/AD server and manage user a...Rule Medium Severity -

The WebSphere Application Server multifactor authentication for network access to privileged accounts must be used.
Multifactor authentication creates a layered defense and makes it more difficult for an unauthorized person to access the application server. If one factor is compromised or broken, the attacker st...Rule Medium Severity -

The WebSphere Application Server must provide security extensions to extend the SOAP protocol and provide secure authentication when accessing sensitive data.
Application servers may provide a web services capability that could be leveraged to allow remote access to sensitive application data. A web service, which is a repeatable process used to make dat...Rule Medium Severity -

The WebSphere Application Server must authenticate all endpoint devices before establishing a local, remote, and/or network connection using bidirectional authentication that is cryptographically based.
Device authentication requires unique identification and authentication that may be defined by type, by specific device, or by a combination of type and device. Bidirectional authentication provid...Rule Medium Severity -
