The Mission Owner must configure the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)/Platform to use certificate path validation to ensure revoked user credentials are prohibited from establishing a user or machine session.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
A certificate's certification path is the path from the end entity certificate to a trusted root certification authority (CA). Certification path validation is necessary for a relying party to make an informed decision regarding acceptance of an end entity certificate. Certification path validation includes checks such as certificate issuer trust, time validity, and revocation status for each certificate in the certification path. Revocation status information for CA and subject certificates in a certification path is commonly provided via certificate revocation lists (CRLs) or online certificate status protocol (OCSP) responses.
