The MQ Appliance messaging server must map the authenticated identity to the individual messaging user or group account for PKI-based authentication.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>The cornerstone of PKI is the private key used to encrypt or digitally sign information. The key by itself is a cryptographic value that does not contain specific user information, but the key can be mapped to a user. Without mapping the certificate used to authenticate to the user account, the ability to determine the identity of the individual user or group will not be available for forensic analysis. Messaging servers must provide the capability to utilize and meet requirements of the DoD Enterprise PKI infrastructure for application authentication. Note: Two or more alternative LDAP hosts may be listed, in the CONNAME parameter, separated by commas. Review IBM product documentation for the LDAP fields required when setting up a communication link with the LDAP server. See https://ibm.biz/BdiBGu for a detailed description of these options.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
