The Juniper SRX Services Gateway must be configured to use a centralized authentication server to authenticate privileged users for remote and nonlocal access for device management.

Description
Centralized management of authentication settings increases the security of remote and nonlocal access methods. This control is a particularly important protection against the insider threat. Audit records for administrator accounts access to the organization's network devices can be more readily analyzed for trends and anomalies. The alternative method of defining administrator accounts on each device exposes the device configuration to remote access authentication attacks and system administrators with multiple authenticators for each network device. The Juniper SRX supports three methods of user authentication: local password authentication, Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS), and Terminal Access Controller Access Control System Plus (TACACS+). RADIUS and TACACS+ are remote access methods used for management of the Juniper SRX. The local password method will be configured for use only for the account of last resort; however, it will not be used for remote and nonlocal access or this will result in a CAT 1 finding (CCI-000765). This requirement references identification and authentication and does not prevent the configuration of privileges using the remote template account (CCI-000213).

Who does this work

10 NICE work roles and 9 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-229025r1015761_chk)

Verify the Juniper SRX is configured to forward logon requests to a RADIUS or TACACS+. From the CLI operational mode enter: show system radius-server or show system tacplus-server If the Juniper SRX is not configured to use at least one RADIUS or TACACS+ server, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-31317r997568_fix)

Configure the Juniper SRX to forward logon requests to a RADIUS or TACACS+. Remove local users configured on the device (CCI-000213) so the AAA server cannot default to using a local account. [edit] set system tacplus-server address <server ipaddress> port 1812 secret <shared secret> or [edit] set system radius-server address <server ipaddress> port 1812 secret <shared secret> Note: DOD policy is that redundant AAA servers are required to mitigate the risk of a failure of the primary AAA device.
