Vulnerability discussion

A comprehensive account management process that includes automation helps to ensure the accounts designated as requiring attention are consistently and promptly addressed. If an attacker compromises an account, the entire MaaS360 Server infrastructure is at risk. Providing automated support functions for the management of accounts will ensure only active accounts will be granted access with the proper authorization levels. These objectives are best achieved by configuring the MaaS360 Server to leverage an enterprise authentication mechanism (e.g., Microsoft Active Directory, Kerberos).SFR ID: FIA

Review the MaaS360 server console and confirm that the MDM platform accounts are leveraged when users identify and authenticate themselves to the MaaS360 console. On the MaaS360 Console complete the following steps: 1. Navigate to Setup >> Login Settings. 2. Verify "Configure Federated Single Sign-On" is checked and "Authenticate against Corporate User Directory" is selected. 3. For SaaS deployments only verify the Cloud Extender is installed: Setup >> Cloud Extender and verify "Cloud Extender Online" is checked. If "Configure Federated Single Sign-On" and "Authenticate against Corporate User Directory" are not selected, this is a finding. For SaaS deployments if Cloud Extender is not installed or "Cloud Extender Online" is not checked, this is a finding.

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.
