Vulnerability discussion

To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, organizational administrators must be uniquely identified and authenticated for all network management accesses to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system.This control does not apply to the root account (when applicable) or the account of last resort which are considered to be authorized shared accounts.

Check content

Determine if the network device uniquely identifies and authenticates organizational administrators. This requirement may be verified by demonstration or configuration review. This requirement may be met through use of a properly configured authentication server if the device is configured to use the authentication server. If organizational administrators are not uniquely identified and authenticated, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the network device to uniquely identify and authenticate organizational administrators.

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.
