If a warning appears in the web browser stating, "Not secure", this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-72182r1038712_fix)

Log in to the HYCU Web UI and generate a CSR within the gear menu and "SSL Certificates" menu.

Submit this CSR to a DOD PKI authority to have a new certificate created.

Note: By default, HYCU is configured with a self-signed certificate, but this can be replaced with a DOD-issued certificate. This certificate can be configured by logging in to the HYCU Web UI, navigating to the gear menu and "SSL Certificates" menu, and importing the DOD-issued certificate.
