Description
Centralized management of authentication settings increases the security of remote and nonlocal access methods. This control is particularly important protection against the insider threat. With robust centralized management, audit records for administrator account 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.

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.

Details

Check Text (C-246940r1211037_chk)

Use "security login show -authentication-method domain" to see users configured to authenticate with Active Directory. If ONTAP is not configured to use an authentication server, this is a finding. Note: The authentication method "domain" is one example. Other authentication methods such as "publickey" and "saml" are also acceptable.

Fix Text (F-50326r1211036_fix)

Configure ONTAP to use Active Directory to authenticate users and prohibit the use of cached authenticators with "security login create -user-or-group-name <user or group name> -authentication-method domain -application ssh". Note: The authentication method "domain" is one example. Other authentication methods such as "publickey" and "saml" are also acceptable.
