Multifactor certificate-based tokens (CAC) must be used when accessing the management interface.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Password authentication does not provide sufficient security control when accessing a management interface. DoD has specified that the CAC will be used when authenticating and passwords will only be used when CAC authentication is not a plausible solution. Tomcat provides the ability to do certificate based authentication and client authentication; therefore, the Tomcat server must be configured to use CAC.
