Discussion

TLS is a required transmission protocol for a web server hosting controlled information. The use of TLS provides confidentiality of data in transit between the web server and client. FIPS 140-2 approved TLS versions must be enabled, and non-FIPS-approved Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) versions must be disabled. VAMI comes configured to use only TLS 1.2. This configuration must be verified and maintained. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000439-WSR-000156, SRG-APP-000442-WSR-000182

Check Content

At the command prompt, run the following command:    

# /opt/vmware/sbin/vami-lighttpd -p -f /opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf 2>/dev/null|grep "ssl.use"|sed 's: ::g'

Expected result:

ssl.use-sslv2="disable"
ssl.use-sslv3="disable"
ssl.use-tlsv10="disable"
ssl.use-tlsv11="disable"
ssl.use-tlsv12="enable"

If the output does not match the expected result, this is a finding.

Note: The command must be run from a bash shell and not from a shell generated by the "appliance shell". Use the "chsh" command to change the shell for the account to "/bin/bash". Refer to KB Article 2100508 for more details:
