SV-60967r1_rule Duplicate User IDs (UIDs) must not exist for users within the organization.

Vulnerability discussion

Users within the organization must be assigned unique UIDs for accountability and to ensure appropriate access protections.

Check content

The root role is required. Check that there are no duplicate UIDs. # logins -d If output is produced, this is a finding.

Fix text

The root role is required. Determine if there exists any users who share a common UID, and work with those users to determine the best course of action in accordance with site policy. Change user account names and UID or delete accounts, so each account has a unique name and UID.

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.
