Fix Recommendation

From the vSphere Client, go to Administration >> Single Sign-On > Configuration >> Smart Card Authentication.

Under Smart card authentication settings >> Certificate revocation, click the "Edit" button.

By default, the PSC will use the CRL from the certificate to check revocation check status.

OCSP with CRL fallback is recommended, but this setting is site specific and should be configured appropriately.

Check Contents

From the vSphere Client, go to Administration >> Single Sign-On >> Configuration >> Smart Card Authentication.

Under Smart card authentication settings >> Certificate revocation, verify that "Revocation check" does not show as disabled.

If "Revocation check" shows as disabled, this is a finding.
