TLS
When setting up TLS communications using certificates, following guidance instructions is crucial, as it
will help to avoid potential TLS Handshake problems, such as TLS certificate verification failures,
common cipher negotiation failures, TLS version mismatch, etc. Examples of these failures are given in
the table: SFRs and Auditable Events for SFRs FCS_TLSC_EXT.1, FCS_TLSC_EXT.2,
FCS_TLSS_EXT.1, FCS_TLSS_EXT.2.
Recovery steps for TLS failures are common for all TOE interfaces utilizing TLS as secure transport layer,
whether the TOE acts a TLS client or a TLS server, or both, and apply to K2 Web Server, K2 LDAP TLS
client, syslog-ng TLS client, the Fidelis Insight Server TLS client, and distributed TOE intercomponent
TLS communications.

FCS_TLSC_
EXT.1
Failure to
establish a TLS
session due to
misconfiguration.
CA certificate file
is not found. CRL
file is not found.
Verify that
correct CA
certificate and
CRL files are
installed in the
path specified
by the error
message.

FCS_TLSC_
EXT.2
Failure to
establish a TLS
Session due to
peer
misconfiguration.
Peer is configured
for Anonymous
Diffie-Hellman and
not authenticated
TLS. Or peer is
configured with
wrong CA
certificate. Or peer
is not configured
with correct end
point certificate.
No peer certificate
is returned.
Verify that peer
is configured
with correct CA
and end point
certificate(s).
