Title

RHEL 9 must map the authenticated identity to the user or group account for PKI-based authentication.

Control

Note: If the system administrator (SA) demonstrates the use of an approved alternate multifactor authentication method, this requirement is not applicable. Verify the certificate of the user or group is mapped to the corresponding user or group in the "sssd.conf" file with the following command: $ sudo find /etc/sssd/sssd.conf /etc/sssd/conf.d/ -type f -exec cat {} \; [certmap/testing.test/rule_name] matchrule =.*EDIPI@mil maprule = (userCertificate;binary={cert!bin}) domains = testing.test If the certmap section does not exist, ask the SA to indicate how certificates are mapped to accounts. If there is no evidence of certificate mapping, this is a finding.

Discussion

Without mapping the certificate used to authenticate to the user account, the ability to determine the identity of the individual user or group will not be available for forensic analysis.

Fix

Configure RHEL 9 to map the authenticated identity to the user or group account by adding or modifying the certmap section of the "/etc/sssd/sssd.conf" file based on the following example: [certmap/testing.test/rule_name] matchrule = .*EDIPI@mil maprule = (userCertificate;binary={cert!bin}) domains = testing.test The "sssd" service must be restarted for the changes to take effect. To restart the "sssd" service, run the following command: $ sudo systemctl restart sssd.service
