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 utilize the DoD CAC are examples of compliant multifactor authentication solutions.

Check Text ( C-81011r2_chk )
Examine the configuration. Verify the Central Log Server is configured to require DoD PKI or another multifactor authentication method for logon via the network for all non-privileged accounts. If the Central Log Server is not configured to use multifactor authentication for network access to non-privileged user accounts, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-88091r1_fix)
This requirement applies to all non-privileged accounts used for access to the system via network access. For systems where individual users access, configure and/or manage the system, configure the Central Log Server to use DoD PKI (preferred) or another multifactor authentication solution for network access to logon to the Central Log Server.
