Vulnerability discussion

Administrators need to be aware of activity that occurs regarding their account. Providing them with information deemed important by the organization may aid in the discovery of unauthorized access or thwart a potential attacker. Organizations should consider the risks to the specific information system being accessed and the threats presented by the device to the environment when configuring this option. An excessive or unnecessary amount of information presented to the administrator at logon is not recommended.

Check content

Determine if the network device notifies the administrator upon successful logon of the location of last logon (terminal or IP address) in addition to the date and time of the last logon. If the administrator is not notified of the location of last logon (terminal or IP address) upon successful logon, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the network device to notify the administrator upon successful logon of the location of last logon (terminal or IP address).

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.
