The VPN Gateway must implement a local cache of revocation data to support path discovery and validation in case of the inability to access revocation information via the network.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>Without configuring a local cache of revocation data, there is the potential to allow access to users who are no longer authorized (users with revoked certificates). This requirement only applies to components where this is specific to the function of the device or has the concept of a user (e.g., VPN or proxy capability). This does not apply to authentication for the purpose of configuring the device itself (i.e., device management).</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
