Description
A comprehensive account management process that includes automation helps to ensure the accounts designated as requiring attention are consistently and promptly addressed. If an attacker compromises an account, the entire MDM server infrastructure is at risk. Providing automated support functions for the management of accounts will ensure only active accounts will be granted access with the proper authorization levels. These objectives are best achieved by configuring the MDM server to leverage an enterprise authentication mechanism (e.g., Microsoft Active Directory Kerberos). SFR ID: FIA

Review MobileIron Core Server configuration settings to determine if the server is configured to leverage the MDM Platform user accounts and groups for MDM Server user identification and authentication. Test the MobileIron Core Server LDAP configuration. 1. Login to the MobileIron Core Server administrator portal as a user with the security configuration administrator role using a web browser. 2. Select "Services" on the web page. 3. Select "LDAP" on the web page. 4. Click the edit icon on an existing LDAP configuration to be tested. 5. Select "Test" on the LDAP server configuration dialog. 6. Enter a valid LDAP User ID and optionally Group ID and select "Submit". 7. Repeat step 6 above and then enter an invalid LDAP user ID and the verification should fail. 8. Verify successful connection to an LDAP server. If there is no existing LDAP configuration or the existing configuration does not connect to an LDAP server, this is a finding.
