    According to PCI requirements 4.1, you must “use strong cryptography and security protocols such as SSL/TLS or IPSEC to safeguard sensitive cardholder data during transmission over open, public networks.” 

     

    When scanning CPPM for these requirements, it fails the PCI scan with the following results:

     

    _______________________________________________________________

    Supported Server Cipher(s):
    Accepted SSLv3 256 bits DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
    Accepted SSLv3 256 bits AES256-SHA
    Accepted SSLv3 128 bits DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA
    Accepted SSLv3 128 bits AES128-SHA
    Accepted SSLv3 168 bits EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA
    Accepted SSLv3 168 bits DES-CBC3-SHA
    Accepted TLSv1 256 bits DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
    Accepted TLSv1 256 bits AES256-SHA
    Accepted TLSv1 128 bits DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA
    Accepted TLSv1 128 bits AES128-SHA
    Accepted TLSv1 168 bits EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA
    Accepted TLSv1 168 bits DES-CBC3-SHA

     

    Prefered Server Cipher(s):
    SSLv3 256 bits DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
    TLSv1 256 bits DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA

    _______________________________________________________________

     

    It needs to be SSLv3 RC4 128 for preferred cipher or similar to below:

     

    ciphers="SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5, SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, SSL_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA"

     

    TAC is telling me that the apache settings shall not be modified as this could affect other services using TLS/SSL. Please find the default cipher configuration on Clearpass SSL configuration file.

     

    #   SSL Cipher Suite:

    # List the ciphers that the client is permitted to negotiate.

    # See the mod_ssl documentation for a complete list.

    SSLCipherSuite ALL:!aNULL:!EXPORT:!SSLv2:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:-MEDIUM:-LOW

     

    Has anyone had to deal with this and if so, how do you correct the issue?

    You can submit an email and see all our latest notices for vulnerabilities here:

    Some times the compliance scanners out there yield false positives due to "backporting" of patches and updates.  It is recommended to perform an authenticated scan into Clearpass for more accurate results.

    Forgive my ignorance but can you elaborate on what you mean by an authenticated scan?
