Vulnerability discussion

The use of authentication servers or other centralized management servers for providing centralized authentication services is required for network device management. Maintaining local administrator accounts for daily usage on each network device without centralized management is not scalable or feasible. Without centralized management, it is likely that credentials for some network devices will be forgotten, leading to delays in administration, which itself leads to delays in remediating production problems and in addressing compromises in a timely fashion.

Check content

Confirm that only SAML logins are enabled. 1. Log in to the Akamai Luna Portal (Caution-https://control.akamai.com). 2. Click "Configure" >> "Manage SSO with SAML" 3. Verify "SAML-only login:" is set to "enabled" If the "SAML only logins:" is set to disabled, this is a finding. NOTE: During the initial deployment and testing of the Luna Portal implementation, it will be necessary to allow other logins. However, production environments must meet this requirement.

Fix text

Configure logins to require SAML integration. 1. Log in to the Akamai Luna Portal (Caution-https://control.akamai.com). 2. Click "Configure" >> "Manage SSO with SAML" 3. Click the "Enable" button next to the "SAML-only login:" label. 4. Click "Yes" when asked if you want to enable SAML-only login.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
