Discussion

For user certificates, each organization obtains certificates from an approved, shared service provider, as required by OMB policy. For federal agencies operating a legacy public key infrastructure cross-certified with the Federal Bridge Certification Authority (CA) at medium assurance or higher, this CA will suffice.

Review the router configuration to verify that it is compliant with this requirement. The configuration below is an example of a CA profile defining name of the CA, the location of CRL for revocation check and to refresh the CRL every 24 hours, and the email address to send a certificate request.

security {
    pki {
        ca-profile DODXX_CA {
            ca-identity xxxxx.mil;
            revocation-check {
                crl {
                    url http://server1.xxxxx.mil/CertEnroll/example.crl;
                    refresh-interval 24;
                }
            }
            administrator {
                email-address "certadmin@xxxxx.mil";
            }
        }
    }
}

If the router is not configured to obtain its public key certificates from an appropriate certificate policy through an approved service provider, this is a finding.
