This requirement supports non-repudiation of actions taken by an administrator and is required in order to maintain the integrity of the configuration management process. All configuration changes to the MQ Appliance network device are logged, and administrators authenticate with two-factor authentication before gaining administrative access. Together, these processes will ensure the administrators can be held accountable for the configuration changes they implement. Using a syslog logging target, the MQ Appliance logs configuration changes to the device. Logging may be set to the following logging levels in descending order of criticality: debug, info, notice, warn, error, alert, emerg. The default is notice. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000080-NDM-000220, SRG-APP-000095-NDM-000225, SRG-APP-000097-NDM-000227, SRG-APP-000098-NDM-000228, SRG-APP-000100-NDM-000230, SRG-APP-000319-NDM-000283 |
