Discussion

Authorization for access to any network element requires an approved and assigned individual account identifier. To ensure only the assigned individual is using the account, the account must be bound to a user certificate when PKI-based authentication is implemented. This requirement applies to ALGs that provide user authentication intermediary services (e.g., authentication gateway or TLS gateway). It does not apply to authentication for the purpose of configuring the device itself (device management).

If Symantec ProxySG, when configured for reverse proxy/WAF services and providing PKI-based user authentication intermediary services, does not map the client certificate to the authentication server store, this is a finding.
