The DataPower Gateway that provides intermediary services for TLS must validate certificates used for TLS functions by performing RFC 5280-compliant certification path validation.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>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.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

Objects >> Crypto Configuration >> Crypto Validation Credentials >> Press add to create a credential. Supply the following parameters:
Name: Assign a name to these Crypto Validation Credentials
Certificates: Define the certificate aliases for the Crypto Validation Credentials object. Each certificate in the Validation Credentials object is the certificate that a TLS peer might send or is the certificate of the Certification Authority (CA) that signed the certificate sent by a peer or is the root certificate.
