IBM Aspera Console must be configured with a preestablished trust relationship and mechanisms with appropriate authorities (e.g., Active Directory or AAA server) which validate user account access authorizations and privileges.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>User account and privilege validation must be centralized in order to prevent unauthorized access using changed or revoked privileges. IBM Aspera Console must use an IdP for authentication for security best practices. The IdP must not be installed on the IBM Aspera Console virtual machine, particularly if it resides on the untrusted zone of the Enclave. Refer to the IBM Aspera Console Admin Guide for data requirements for the SAML assertion including default attribute names, the IBM Aspera Console User Field, and required format within the assertion. For security best practices also ensure that the system hosting IBM Aspera Console uses Network Time Protocol or another system to keep times synchronized with the IdP/SAML Provider providing the SAML assertions. Clock drift between The IBM Aspera Console server and the IdP/SAML Provider will result in expired assertions and the inability to be successfully authenticated into IBM Aspera Console.
