Description
Once an attacker establishes access to an application, the attacker often attempts to create a persistent method of re-establishing access. One way to accomplish this is for the attacker to simply create a new account. Sending notification of account creation events to the system administrator and ISSO is one method for mitigating this risk. To address access requirements, many application developers choose to integrate their applications with enterprise-level authentication/access/auditing mechanisms that meet or exceed access control policy requirements. Such integration allows the application developer to off-load those access control functions and focus on core application features and functionality. Satisfies:FAU_ALT_EXT.1.1, FAU_GEN.1.1(1), FMT_SMF.1.1(2)c.8 Reference:PP-MDM-411065, PP-MDM-412000

Check Text ( C-37623r614324_chk )
Requirement is Not Applicable when UEM server is configured to use DoD Central Directory Service for administrator account authentication. Verify the UEM server notify system administrators and ISSO when accounts are created. If the UEM server does not notify system administrators and the ISSO when accounts are created, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-37588r614325_fix)
Configure the UEM server to notify system administrators and the ISSO when accounts are created.
