Discussion

The use of PIV credentials facilitates standardization and reduces the risk of unauthorized access. DoD has mandated the use of the Common Access Card (CAC) to support identity management and personal authentication for systems covered under HSPD 12, as well as a primary component of layered protection for national security systems. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000391, SRG-APP-000033, SRG-APP-000392, SRG-APP-000439, SRG-APP-000440, SRG-APP-000442

Check Content

For each Store listed, select the store and perform the following:

2) Ensure only "Smart card" is selected. If using remote access "Pass-through from NetScaler Gateway" may also be selected.

If the "Smart Card" method is not selected, or if other methods are selected, this is a finding.
If "Pass-through from NetScaler Gateway" is selected, this is not a finding.
