Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Device authentication requires unique identification and authentication that may be defined by type, by specific device, or by a combination of type and device. Device authentication is accomplished via the use of certificates and protocols such as SSL mutual authentication. Device authentication is performed when the application server is providing web services capabilities and data protection requirements mandate the need to establish the identity of the connecting device before the connection is established. Note: with LDAP registry, the entire DN in the certificate is used to look up LDAP. Filters may be configured. With other registries, only the first attribute after the first "=", e.g., CN=<user> is used. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/prodconn_1.0.0/com.ibm.scenarios.wmqwassecure.doc/topics/implementing.htm?cp=SSEQTP_8.0.0 Satisfies: SRG-APP-000394-AS-000241, SRG-APP-000177-AS-000126</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
