Discussion

Device management includes the ability to control the number of administrators and management sessions that manage a device. Limiting the number of allowed administrators and sessions per administrator based on account type, role, or access type is helpful in limiting risks related to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. This requirement addresses concurrent sessions for administrative accounts and does not address concurrent sessions by a single administrator via multiple administrative accounts. The maximum number of concurrent sessions should be defined based upon mission needs and the operational environment for each system. At a minimum, limits must be set for SSH, HTTPS, account of last resort, and root account sessions.

Check Content

1. In the Web UI, navigate to Administrators >> Admins Realms >> Admin Realms.
2. Click the configured admin realm being used for CAC/PKI token admin logins.
3. Click the "Authentication Policy" tab, then click "Limits".

If the "Maximum number of sessions per user" field shows any value other than "1", this is a finding.
