Information

Without conforming to 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 only applies to components where this is specific to the function of the device or has the concept of a nonorganizational 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

Configure ProxySG to conform to a FICAM-authentication protocol and configure it to use SAML authentication.
1. Log on to the Web Management Console.
2. Browse to Configuration >> Authentication.
3. Click "SAML" and configure.
