The CA API Gateway must employ RADIUS + LDAPS or LDAPS to centrally manage authentication settings.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>The use of authentication servers or other centralized management servers for providing centralized authentication services is required for network device management. Maintaining local administrator accounts for daily usage on each network device without centralized management is not scalable or feasible. Without centralized management, it is likely that credentials for some network devices will be forgotten, leading to delays in administration, which itself leads to delays in remediating production problems and in addressing compromises in a timely fashion. Use of RADIUS + LDAPS or LDAPS for authentication and authorization provides the Gateway with an ability to authenticate credentials against a centralized and secured identity management system. This allows permissions for administration of the Gateway to be governed independently of the Gateway.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
