Unapproved mechanisms that are used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not verified and therefore cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DOD data may be compromised. The HPE 3PAR OS cimserver utilizes a vendor-affirmed FIPS module and operates OpenSSL in FIPS mode when configured as described. If the service is not enabled in FIPS mode, it is incorrectly configured.
If the mission does not require CIM functionality, this requirement is not applicable. Verify cim is configured: cli% showcim If there is an error, this is a finding. If the output indicates the service is "Disabled", the state is "Inactive", HTTP is "Enabled", or HTTPS is "Disabled", this is a finding. Check the FIPS status cli% controlsecurity fips status If there is an error, or CIM shows as "Disabled", this is a finding.
Stop the cimserver process: cli% stopcim -f Reconfigure the cimserver to use only HTTPS on TLSV1.2 cli% setcim -f -http disable cli% setcim -f -https enable cli% setcim -f -pol tls_strict Restart the cimserver process: cli% startcim -f Wait up to five minutes for CIM to start up and verify it is Enabled/Active cli% showcim Once CIM is active, verify FIPS mode: cli% controlsecurity fips status If CIM is "Disabled", this is an error that requires a service escalation.
