Description
When application accounts are modified, user accessibility is affected. Accounts are utilized for identifying individual users or for identifying the application processes themselves. Sending notification of account modification events to the SA and ISSO is one method for mitigating this risk. Such a capability greatly reduces the risk that application accessibility will be negatively affected for extended periods of time and also provides logging that can be used for forensic purposes. To address access requirements, many operating systems can be integrated with enterprise-level authentication/access/auditing mechanisms that meet or exceed access control policy requirements. 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-37624r985706_chk )
Requirement is Not Applicable when UEM server is configured to use DOD Central Directory Service for administrator account authentication. Verify the UEM server notifies SAs and the ISSO when accounts are modified. If the UEM server does not notify SAs and the ISSO when accounts are modified, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-37589r985707_fix)
