Description
To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, non-privileged users must utilize multifactor authentication to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Multifactor authentication uses two or more factors to achieve authentication. Factors include: (i) Something you know (e.g., password/PIN); (ii) Something you have (e.g., cryptographic identification device, token); or (iii) Something you are (e.g., biometric). A non-privileged account is any information system account with authorizations of a non-privileged user. Network access is any access to an application by a user (or process acting on behalf of a user) where said access is obtained through a network connection. Applications integrating with the DoD Active Directory and using the DoD CAC are examples of compliant multifactor authentication solutions.

Details

Check Text ( C-80633r1_chk )
Verify AAA Services are configured to require multifactor authentication using CAC PIV credentials for authenticating non-privileged user accounts. If AAA Services are not configured to require multifactor authentication using CAC PIV credentials for authenticating non-privileged user accounts, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-87751r1_fix)
Configure AAA Services to require multifactor authentication using CAC PIV credentials for authenticating non-privileged user accounts.
