TMA-SOPHOS-1.1.7
Ensure valid certificate is set for web browser used to access Webadmin interface
Description
Default HTTPS port 4444 is used to access Sophos Firewall's Webadmin interface. HTTPS certificate used to secure the administrative session should satisfy the following criteria: 1. A valid certificate from a trusted source should be used. While a certificate from a trusted Public Certificate Authority is certainly valid, one from a trusted Private Certificate Authority is absolutely acceptable for this purpose. 2. The certificate should have a valid date. It should not have a "to" date in the past (it should not be expired), and should not have a "from" date in the future. 3. The certificate should use an acceptable cipher and encryption level. Reviewed in the Sophos Firewall web admin console (SFOS has no plain-text configuration export to audit offline).
