Note: WebSphere Application Server V6.0.2.3, WebSphere Application Server Express V6.0.2.3, and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V6.0.2.3 requires interim fixes for APARs PK15487, PK16977, PK13494, PK13653, PK15059, PK18574, PK18576, and PK18991. WebSphere Application Server for z/OS 6.01, service level 6.0.2.3 requires the fix to APAR AK17408.
\r\nWebSphere Application Server Application Server configured according to WebSphere Application Server EAL4 AGD –Guidance document (version 9.1).
\r\nThe WebSphere Application Server TOE is a subset of the WebSphere Application Server product. The WebSphere Application Server product components that are not part of the TOE do not implement the primary purpose of the product and are not required to facilitate the product management functions. The WebSphere Application Server TOE consists of the following WebSphere Application Server product components:
\r\nWebSphere Application Server relies upon the environment to perform cryptographic key generation, cryptographic key destruction, cryptographic operations (digital signature generation/verification, encryption/decryption), maintenance of security attributes associated with users (user ID, Group ID, Password or Certificate), and authentication.
\r\nThe following Operating Systems (OS) are supported but outside the scope of this evaluation:
\r\nThe WebSphere Application Server TOE is a Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) 1.4 compliant run-time environment. The primary purpose of the product is to provide an environment for running and managing user-supplied enterprise applications and their components of. J2EE is a comprehensive set of specifications for designing, developing and deploying multi-tier, server-based applications. The J2EE specifications are the result of an industry-wide effort that involves a large number of contributors.
\r\nThe WebSphere Application Server TOE supports the following security functions: Identification, Access Control, Security Management, and Invocation of SSL.
\r\nThe TOE identifies a client before performing any other TSF mediated action for the client with the exception of access to a method or static web content that is not configured with a security constraint or specifically allows access to “Everyone”. The environment is depended upon to authenticate and maintain security attributes associated with users.
\r\nThe TOE provides access control functions that allow only authorized remote callers to access to the sensitive resources. The TOE permits a client to access a protected resource only if a user or group ID of the user is mapped to a role that has permission to access the resource. The resources protected by the TOE are:
\r\nThe authorized role can use the TOE to map user and group IDs to roles which are the attributes used by the access control function.
\r\nThe TOE provides an invocation of SSL function that requires a remote caller to invoke SSL using the configured algorithms to allow for the session to be encrypted when the remote caller issues a request to the TOE over the remote interface of the IBM HTTP Server component. Note: This function does not perform the actual SSL encryption, yet provides a mechanism for requiring requests from remote callers to be encrypted.
","evaluation_configuration":null,"security_evaluation_summary":"The evaluation was carried out in accordance to the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS) process and scheme. The evaluation demonstrated that the WebSphere Application Server TOEmeets the security requirements contained in the Security Target. The criteria against which the WebSphere Application Server TOE was judged are described in the Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation, Version 2.2. The evaluation methodology used by the evaluation team to conduct the evaluation is the Common Methodology for Information Technology Security Evaluation, Version 2.2. Science Application International Corporation (SAIC) determined that the evaluation assurance level (EAL) for the WebSphere Application Server TOE is EAL 4 augmented with ALC_FLR.1. The TOE, configured as specified in the installation guide, satisfies all of the security functional requirements stated in the Security Target. Several validators on behalf of the CCEVS Validation Body monitored the evaluation carried out by SAIC. The evaluation was completed in April 2006. Results of the evaluation can be found in the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme Validation Report for WebSphere Application Serverprepared by CCEVS.
\r\nThe WebSphere Application Server EAL4+ Security Target makes a claim that the TOE can be supported on multiple operating systems platforms and are considered to be outside the scope of the TOE.
","environmental_strengths":"The WebSphere Application Server TOE is a commercial product that provides identification, access control and the management of access control to protective resources. Additionally, the TOE provides a mechanism for requiring requests from remote callers to be encrypted using SSL (note that SSL is outside the scope of the TOE). The WebSphere Application Server TOE provides a level of protection that is appropriate for IT environments where the WebSphere Application Server TOE and the platform upon which it is installed can be appropriately protected from physical attacks.
