F5BI-LT-000211 - The BIG-IP Core implementation must be able to conform to FICAM-issued profiles when providing authentication to virtual servers.
Information
Without conforming to Federal Identity, Credential, and Access Management (FICAM)-issued profiles, the information system may not be interoperable with FICAM-authentication protocols, such as SAML 2.0 and OpenID 2.0. Use of FICAM-issued profiles addresses open identity management standards. This requirement only applies to components where this is specific to the function of the device or has the concept of a non-organizational user, (e.g., ALG capability that is the front end for an application in a DMZ). NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
Solution
If user authentication intermediary services are provided, configure BIG-IP Core as follows: Configure a policy in the BIG-IP APM module to conform to FICAM-issued profiles when providing authentication. Apply APM policy to the applicable Virtual Server(s) in the BIG-IP LTM module to conform to FICAM-issued profiles when providing authentication to virtual servers.
