Vulnerability discussion

Distinct user account databases on each separate system cause problems with username and password policy enforcement. Most approved directory services infrastructure solutions, such as Active Directory, allow centralized management of users and passwords.

Check content

Ask the SA or IAO if the system is integrated into a directory services infrastructure, such as Active Directory. If the system is not integrated into a directory service infrastructure, this is a finding. Mitigation: If there is no directory services infrastructure available, reduce severity to CAT III.

Fix text

Integrate the system into an existing directory services infrastructure, such as Active Directory.

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.
