The Central Log Server must be configured to uniquely identify and authenticate organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of organizational users).

Description
To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, organizational users must be identified and authenticated to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Organizational users include organizational employees or individuals the organization deems to have equivalent status of employees (e.g., contractors). Organizational users (and any processes acting on behalf of users) must be uniquely identified and authenticated for all accesses.

Who does this work

7 NICE work roles and 5 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-206460r1051115_chk)

Examine the configuration. Verify that individual user accounts are defined within the application. Each account must have a separate identifier. If an authentication server may be used for login, ensure the application audit logs containing management and configuration actions, identify the individual performing each action. If the Central Log Server is not configured to uniquely identify and authenticate organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of organizational users), this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-6720r285625_fix)

For systems where individual users access, configure and/or manage the system, configure the Central Log Server application so each user is explicitly identified and authenticated. While an authentication server, is often used for logon, this requirement must include instructions for integrating the authentication server so that they system requires unique identification and authentication. Note: Group accounts are not permitted for logon to the Central Log Server.
