Vulnerability discussion

The built-in administrator account, as a well known account subject to attack, is disabled by default and per STIG requirements. Domain administrative accounts on domain-joined systems should provide sufficient availability for administering a system. A site with limited administrators must ensure they have a contingency for administering a non-domain system.

Check content

Determine if there is a contingency for administering a non-domain system with limited administrators. An emergency administrator account must be documented with the ISSO, and it must be stored with its password in a secure location. If there is no contingency for administering a system in an emergency, this is a finding.

Fix text

Create a contingency plan for administering a system. Document any emergency administrator account with the ISSO and store the account information in a secure location.

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.
