The MQ Appliance messaging server must implement cryptography mechanisms to protect the integrity of the remote access session.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Encryption is critical for protection of remote access sessions. If encryption is not being used for integrity, malicious users may gain the ability to modify the messaging server configuration. The use of cryptography for ensuring integrity of remote access sessions mitigates that risk. Messaging servers utilize a web management interface and scripted commands when allowing remote access. Web access requires the use of TLS and scripted access requires using ssh or some other form of approved cryptography. Messaging servers must have a capability to enable a secure remote admin capability. FIPS 140-2 approved TLS versions include TLS V1.0 or greater. FIPS 140-2 approved TLS versions must be enabled and non-FIPS-approved SSL versions must be disabled. NIST SP 800-52 specifies the preferred configurations for government systems.
