Description

Administrators need to be aware of activity that occurs regarding their network device management account. Providing administrators with information regarding the number of unsuccessful attempts made to logon to their account allows them to determine if any unauthorized activity has occurred. Without this information, the administrator may not be aware that unauthorized activity has occurred. This incorporates all methods of logon, including, but not limited to, SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, and physical connectivity.

Determine if the HP FlexFabric Switch is configured to notify the administrator of the date and time of their last logon. Once the logon credentials have been entered the system should display the previous logon information for the user: Log on as: admin admin@15.252.78.64's password: Your logon failures since the last successful logon: Wed May 27 10:06:04 2015 Wed May 27 10:06:09 2015 Last successfully logon time: Wed May 27 10:45:51 2015 If the administrator is not notified of the date and time of the last logon upon successful logon, this is a finding.
