Description
Password-based authentication applies to passwords regardless of whether they are used in single-factor or multifactor authentication. Long passwords or passphrases are preferable over shorter passwords. Enforced composition rules provide marginal security benefits while decreasing usability. However, organizations may choose to establish certain rules for password generation (e.g., minimum character length for long passwords) under certain circumstances and can enforce this requirement in IA-5(1)(h). Account recovery can occur, for example, in situations when a password is forgotten. Cryptographically protected passwords include salted one-way cryptographic hashes of passwords. The list of commonly used, compromised, or expected passwords includes passwords obtained from previous breach corpuses, dictionary words, and repetitive or sequential characters. The list includes context-specific words, such as the name of the service, username, and derivatives thereof.

Check Text (C-269805r1051800_chk)

If a default password is still configured for any user, warning messages will be displayed on login directly above the initial prompt, as shown below. Log in to OS10 and verify that no warning messages about default passwords are displayed above the initial prompt: %Warning : Default password for admin account should be changed to secure the system %Warning : Default password for linuxadmin account should be changed to secure the system. OS10# If any default password warnings are displayed, this is a finding. If "system-user linuxadmin disable" is not shown in the switch configuration, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-73739r1051799_fix)

Configure new passwords for the admin and linuxadmin users as shown below and disable the linuxadmin: OS10(config)# username admin password ********** role sysadmin OS10(config)# system-user linuxadmin password ************ OS10(config)# system-user linuxadmin disable
