MobileIron Sentry must use FIPS 140-2 approved algorithms for authentication to a cryptographic module.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Unapproved mechanisms that are used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not validated and therefore cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DoD data may be compromised. Sentry utilizing encryption is required to use FIPS-compliant mechanisms for authenticating to cryptographic modules. FIPS 140-2 is the current standard for validating that mechanisms used to access cryptographic modules utilize authentication that meets DoD requirements. However, authentication algorithms must configure security processes to use only FIPS-approved and NIST-recommended authentication algorithms.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

Configure the MobileIron Sentry server to use a FIPS 140-2-validated cryptographic module.
On the MobileIron Sentry console, do the following:
1. SSH to MobileIron Sentry Server from any SSH client.
2. Enter the administrator credentials set at MobileIron Sentry installation.
3. Enter "enable".
