Network WLAN AP-NIPR Management Security Technical Implementation Guide
Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark
-
The network device must enforce a minimum 15-character password length.
Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password length is one factor of several that helps to d...Rule Medium Severity -
The network device must not have any default manufacturer passwords when deployed.
Network devices not protected with strong password schemes provide the opportunity for anyone to crack the password and gain access to the device, which can result in loss of availability, confiden...Rule Medium Severity -
The network device must display the Standard Mandatory DoD Notice and Consent Banner before granting access to the device.
All network devices must present a DoD-approved warning banner prior to a system administrator logging on. The banner should warn any unauthorized user not to proceed. It also should provide clear ...Rule Medium Severity -
The network device must be configured to authenticate each administrator prior to authorizing privileges based on assignment of group or role.
To ensure individual accountability and prevent unauthorized access, administrators must be individually identified and authenticated. Individual accountability mandates that each administrator is...Rule Medium Severity -
The network device must be configured to implement cryptographic mechanisms using a FIPS 140-2 approved algorithm to protect the confidentiality of remote maintenance sessions.
This requires the use of secure protocols instead of their unsecured counterparts, such as SSH instead of telnet, SCP instead of FTP, and HTTPS instead of HTTP. If unsecured protocols (lacking cryp...Rule High Severity -
The network device must be configured to authenticate SNMP messages using a FIPS-validated Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC).
Without authenticating devices, unidentified or unknown devices may be introduced, thereby facilitating malicious activity. Bidirectional authentication provides stronger safeguards to validate the...Rule Medium Severity -
The network device must be configured with only one local account to be used as the account of last resort in the event the authentication server is unavailable.
Authentication for administrative (privileged level) access to the device is required at all times. An account can be created on the device's local database for use when the authentication server i...Rule Medium Severity -
The network device must implement replay-resistant authentication mechanisms for network access to privileged accounts.
A replay attack may enable an unauthorized user to gain access to the application. Authentication sessions between the authenticator and the application validating the user credentials must not be ...Rule Medium Severity -
The network device must be configured to synchronize internal information system clocks using redundant authoritative time sources.
The loss of connectivity to a particular authoritative time source will result in the loss of time synchronization (free-run mode) and increasingly inaccurate time stamps on audit events and other ...Rule Medium Severity -

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
