Discussion

For user certificates, each organization obtains certificates from an approved, shared service provider, as required by OMB policy. For federal agencies operating a legacy public key infrastructure cross-certified with the Federal Bridge Certification Authority at medium assurance or higher, this Certification Authority will suffice. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000344, SRG-APP-000910-NDM-000300

Check Content

Open a new HYCU Web UI browser tab and verify there is no warning prompt before proceeding to the Web UI login page. 

If a warning appears in the web browser stating, "Not secure", this is a finding.

Fix Text

Log in to the HYCU Web UI and generate a CSR within the gear menu and "SSL Certificates" menu.
 
Submit this CSR to a DOD PKI authority to have a new certificate created. 

Note: By default, HYCU is configured with a self-signed certificate, but this can be replaced with a DOD-issued certificate. This certificate can be configured by logging in to the HYCU Web UI, navigating to the gear menu and "SSL Certificates" menu, and importing the DOD-issued certificate.
