The HP FlexFabric Switch must limit the number of concurrent sessions to an organization-defined number for each administrator account and/or administrator account type.

Description
Device management includes the ability to control the number of administrators and management sessions that manage a device. Limiting the number of allowed administrators and sessions per administrator is helpful in limiting risks related to DoS attacks. This requirement addresses concurrent sessions for administrative accounts and does not address concurrent sessions by a single administrator via multiple administrative accounts. The maximum number of concurrent sessions should be defined based upon mission needs and the operational environment for each system.

Who does this work

8 NICE work roles and 6 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-217426r960735_chk)

Review the HP FlexFabric Switch configuration to see if it limits the number of concurrent sessions to an organization-defined number for all administrator accounts and/or administrator account types: [HP] display local-user Device management user test: State: Active Service type: None Access limit: Enabled Max access number: 3 Current access number: 0 User group: system Bind attributes: Authorization attributes: Work directory: cfa0: User role list: network-admin If "Max access number:" line is not present, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-18648r292954_fix)

Configure the HP FlexFabric Switch to limit the number of concurrent sessions to an organization-defined number for all administrator accounts and administrator account types as shown in the following example: [HP] local-user admin [HP-luser-manage-admin] access-limit 3
