Check Procedure
Review the application documentation and interview the application administrator to identify application access methods.
If the application is not PK-enabled due to the hosted data being publicly releasable, this check is not applicable.
If the application is only deployed to SIPRNet, this requirement is not applicable.
If the application is not intended to be available to Federal government (non-DoD) partners this requirement is not applicable.
Ask the application administrator to demonstrate how the application is configured to allow the use of PIV credentials from other agencies.
If the application is required to provide authenticated access to Federal agencies and it does not accept a PIV, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure the application to accept PIV credentials when utilizing authentication provided by Federal (Non-DoD) agencies.
