Fix Recommendation

If user access control intermediary services are provided, configure the BIG-IP Core as follows:

Configure a policy in the BIG-IP APM module to retain the Standard Mandatory DoD-approved Notice and Consent Banner on the screen until users acknowledge the usage conditions and take explicit actions to log on for further access.

Apply the APM policy to the applicable Virtual Server(s) in the BIG-IP LTM module to retain the Standard Mandatory DoD-approved Notice and Consent Banner on the screen until users acknowledge the usage conditions and take explicit actions to log on for further access.

Check Contents

If the BIG-IP Core does not provide user access control intermediary services for virtual servers, this is not applicable.

When user access control intermediary services are provided, verify the BIG-IP Core is configured as follows:

Verify Virtual Server(s) in the BIG-IP LTM module are configured with an APM policy to retain the Standard Mandatory DoD-approved Notice and Consent Banner on the screen until users acknowledge the usage conditions and take explicit actions to log on for further access.

Navigate to the BIG-IP System manager >> Local Traffic >> Virtual Servers >> Virtual Servers List tab.

Select Virtual Servers(s) from the list to verify.

Verify under "Access Policy" section, that "Access Policy" has been set to use an access policy to retain the Standard Mandatory DoD-approved Notice and Consent Banner.

If the BIG-IP Core is not configured to retain the Standard Mandatory DoD-approved Notice and Consent Banner on the screen until users acknowledge the usage conditions and take explicit actions to log on for further access, this is a finding.
