CCS Certification Report Infoblox Incorporated
NetMRI® v4.2.2.45
___________________________________________________________________________
Version 1.0 12 May 2010
- Page 5 of 8 -
Development: The evaluators analyzed the NetMRI functional specification, design
documentation, and security architecture description; they determined that the design
completely and accurately describes the TSF interfaces, the TSF subsystems and how the
TSF implements the security functional requirements (SFRs). The evaluators analyzed the
NetMRI security architectural description and determined that the initialization process is
secure and that the security functions are protected against tamper and bypass. The
evaluators also independently verified that the correspondence mappings between the design
documents are correct.
Guidance Documents: The evaluators examined the NetMRI preparative user guidance and
operational user guidance and determined that it sufficiently and unambiguously describes
how to securely transform the TOE into its evaluated configuration and how to use and
administer the product. The evaluators examined and tested the preparative and operational
guidance, and determined that they are complete and sufficiently detailed to result in a secure
configuration.
Life-Cycle Support: An analysis of the NetMRI configuration management system and
associated documentation was performed. The evaluators found that the NetMRI
configuration items were clearly marked. The developer’s configuration management system
was observed during a site visit, and it was found to be mature and well-developed.
The evaluators examined the delivery documentation and determined that it described all of
the procedures required to maintain the integrity of NetMRI during distribution to the
consumer.
The evaluators reviewed the flaw remediation procedures used by Netcordia for NetMRI.
During a site visit, the evaluators also examined the evidence generated by adherence to the
procedures. The evaluators concluded that the procedures are adequate to track and correct
security flaws, and distribute the flaw information and corrections to consumers of the
product.
Vulnerability Assessment: The evaluators conducted an independent vulnerability analysis
of NetMRI. Additionally, the evaluators conducted a review of public domain vulnerability
databases to identify possible potential vulnerabilities in the TOE. The evaluators identified
potential vulnerabilities for testing applicable to the NetMRI in its operational environment.
All these evaluation activities resulted in PASS verdicts.
12 ITS Product Testing
Testing at EAL 2 consists of the following three steps: assessing developer tests, performing
independent functional tests, and performing penetration tests.

12.1 Assessment of Developer Tests
The evaluators verified that the developer has met their testing responsibilities by examining
their test evidence, and reviewing their test results, as documented in the ETR2
.
The evaluators analyzed the developer’s test coverage analysis and found it to be complete
and accurate. The correspondence between the tests identified in the developer’s test
documentation and the functional specification and TOE design was complete.
12.2 Independent Functional Testing
During this evaluation, the evaluator developed independent functional tests by examining
design and guidance documentation, examining the developer's test documentation,
executing a sample of the developer's test cases, and creating test cases that augmented the
developer tests.
All testing was planned and documented to a sufficient level of detail to allow repeatability
of the testing procedures and results. Resulting from this test coverage approach was the
following list of EWA-Canada test goals:
a) Initialization: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that the TOE can be installed
and configured into the evaluated configuration by following all instructions in the
developer’s Installation and Administrative guidance;
b) Repeat of Developer's Tests: The objective of this test goal is to repeat a subset of the
developer's tests on the evaluator’s TOE installation;
c) Identification and Authentication: The objective of this test goal is to ensure that the
identification and authentication requirements have been met;
d) Audit: The objective of this test goal is to ensure that the audit data is recorded and can
be viewed;
e) Security Management: The objective of this test goal is to ensure the security
management is correct; and
f) Basic Product Functionality: The objective of this test goal is to exercise the TOE's
basic functionality.

12.3 Independent Penetration Testing
Subsequent to the independent review of public domain vulnerability databases and a
focused review of all evaluation deliverables, limited independent evaluator penetration
testing was conducted. The penetration tests focused on:
a) Misuse Testing: The objective of this testing is to determine the TOE's response to
unexpected input and events, including user behaviour which could be accidental or
intentional.
The independent penetration testing did not uncover any exploitable vulnerabilities in the
anticipated operating environment.
12.4 Conduct of Testing
NetMRI was subjected to a comprehensive suite of formally documented, independent
functional and penetration tests. The testing took place at the developer's facility in
Annapolis, MD, USA and at the Information Technology Security Evaluation and Testing
(ITSET) Facility at EWA-Canada. The detailed testing activities, including configurations,
procedures, test cases, expected results and observed results are documented in a separate
Test Results document.
12.5 Testing Results
The developer’s tests and the independent functional tests yielded the expected results,
giving assurance that the NetMRI behaves as specified in its ST and functional specification.
13 Results of the Evaluation
This evaluation has provided the basis for an EAL 2+ level of assurance. The overall verdict
for the evaluation is PASS. These results are supported by evidence in the ETR.
14 Evaluator Comments, Observations and Recommendations
The documentation for the NetMRI includes comprehensive user guidance; the NetMRI is
straightforward to configure, use and integrate into a corporate network.
Netcordia, Inc has a well defined product development process. Configuration management
(CM) and quality assurance (QA) provide the requisite controls for managing all CM/QA
activities.
