Assessment Title
Rule Text
If passwords are used for authentication, the MarkLogic Server must transmit only encrypted representations of passwords.
Description
Discussion Text
The DoW standard for authentication is DoW-approved PKI certificates.
Authentication based on User ID and Password may be used only when it is not possible to employ a PKI certificate, and requires AO approval.
In such cases, passwords must be protected at all times, and encryption is the standard method for protecting passwords during transmission.
DBMS passwords sent in clear text format across the network are vulnerable to discovery by unauthorized users. Disclosure of passwords may easily lead to unauthorized access to the database.
MarkLogic Types of Authentication:
Basic*
Digest
Digest-Basic*
Certificate
Application Level
Kerberos Ticket
SAML
* Indicates that the authentication method allows the username and password to be transmitted in clear text.
