The Cisco router must generate alerts that can be forwarded to the administrators and ISSO when accounts are disabled.

| Description |

| When application accounts are disabled, administrator accessibility is affected. Accounts are utilized for identifying individual device administrators or for identifying the device processes themselves. In order to detect and respond to events that affect administrator accessibility and device processing, devices must audit account disabling actions and, as required, notify the appropriate individuals so they can investigate the event. Such a capability greatly reduces the risk that device accessibility will be negatively affected for extended periods of time and also provides logging that can be used for forensic purposes. |

| The Cisco router is not compliant with this requirement. However, the risk associated with this requirement can be fully mitigated if the router is configured to utilize an authentication server to authenticate and authorize users for administrative access. Review the router configuration to verify that the device is configured to use an authentication server as primary source for authentication as shown in the following example: aaa new-model ! aaa authentication login LOGIN_AUTHENTICATION group radius local … … … ip http authentication aaa login-authentication LOGIN_AUTHENTICATION ip http secure-server … … … radius-server host x.x.x.x auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646 key xxxxxxx … … … line con 0 exec-timeout 10 0 login authentication LOGIN_AUTHENTICATION line vty 0 4 exec-timeout 10 0 login authentication LOGIN_AUTHENTICATION If the router is not configured to use an authentication server to authenticate and authorize users for administrative access, this is a finding. |
