F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager Security Technical Implementation Guide
Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark
-
The F5 BIG-IP appliance must be configured to enable the "Secure" cookie flag.
To guard against cookie hijacking, only the BIG-IP APM controller and client must be able to view the full session ID. Session cookies are set only after the SSL handshake between the BIG-IP APM sy...Rule Low Severity -
The F5 BIG-IP appliance must be configured to disable the "Persistent" cookie flag.
For BIG-IP APM deployments with connectivity resources (such as Network Access, Portal Access, etc.), BIG-IP APM cookies cannot be set as "Persistent". This is by design since cookies are stored lo...Rule Low Severity -
The BIG-IP APM module must use multifactor authentication for network access to non-privileged accounts.
To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, non-privileged users must utilize multifactor authentication to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Multifactor auth...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000166-ALG-000101
Group -
The BIG-IP APM module must map the authenticated identity to the user account for PKI-based authentication to virtual servers.
Authorization for access to any network element requires an approved and assigned individual account identifier. To ensure only the assigned individual is using the account, the account must be bou...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000169-ALG-000102
Group -
The BIG-IP APM module must be configured to uniquely identify and authenticate non-organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of non-organizational users) when connecting to virtual servers.
Lack of authentication enables anyone to gain access to the network or possibly a network element that provides opportunity for intruders to compromise resources within the network infrastructure. ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000313-ALG-000010
Group -
The BIG-IP APM module must conform to FICAM-issued profiles.
Without conforming to Federal Identity, Credential, and Access Management (FICAM)-issued profiles, the information system may not be interoperable with FICAM-authentication protocols, such as SAML ...Rule Medium Severity -
The BIG-IP APM module must be configured to handle invalid inputs in a predictable and documented manner that reflects organizational and system objectives.
A common vulnerability of network elements is unpredictable behavior when invalid inputs are received. This requirement guards against adverse or unintended system behavior caused by invalid inputs...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.
