SRG-APP-000175-WSR-000095
Group -
The SSMC web server must perform RFC 5280-compliant certification path validation.
A certificate's certification path is the path from the end entity certificate to a trusted root certification authority (CA). Certification path validation is necessary for a relying party to make...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000295-WSR-000012
Group -
SSMC web server must set an absolute timeout for sessions.
Leaving sessions open indefinitely is a major security risk. An attacker can easily use an already authenticated session to access the hosted application as the previously authenticated user. By cl...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000295-WSR-000134
Group -
SSMC web server must set an inactive timeout for sessions.
Leaving sessions open indefinitely is a major security risk. An attacker can easily use an already authenticated session to access the hosted application as the previously authenticated user. By cl...Rule Medium Severity -

SSMC web server must set an inactive timeout for shell sessions.
Leaving sessions open indefinitely is a major security risk. An attacker can easily use an already authenticated session to access the hosted application as the previously authenticated user. By cl...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000315-WSR-000004
Group -
SSMC web server must restrict connections from nonsecure zones.
Remote access to the web server is any access that communicates through an external, non-organization-controlled network. Remote access can be used to access hosted applications or to perform manag...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000176-WSR-000096
Group -
SSMC web server application, libraries, and configuration files must only be accessible to privileged users.
A web server can be modified through parameter modification, patch installation, upgrades to the web server or modules, and security parameter changes. With each of these changes, there is the pote...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000516-WSR-000174
Group -
SSMC web server must enable strict two-factor authentication for access to the webUI.
Accounts secured with only a password are subject to multiple forms of attack, from brute force, to social engineering. By enforcing strict two-factor authentication, this reduces the risk of accou...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000358-WSR-000063
Group -
SSMC web server must not impede the ability to write specified log record content to an audit log server.
Writing events to a centralized management audit system offers many benefits to the enterprise over having dispersed logs. Centralized management of audit records and logs provides for efficiency i...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000089-WSR-000047
Group -
SSMC web server must generate, at a minimum, log records for system startup and shutdown, system access, and system authentication events.
Log records can be generated from various components within the web server (e.g., httpd, plug-ins to external backends, etc.). From a web server perspective, certain specific web server functionali...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000092-WSR-000055
