Discussion

To assure accountability and prevent unauthorized access, application server users must be uniquely identified and authenticated. This is typically accomplished via the use of a user store which is either local (OS-based) or centralized (LDAP) in nature. To ensure support to the enterprise, the authentication must utilize an enterprise solution.

Check Content

Interview the ISSO and/or the SA.

Determine the enterprise user management system being used to uniquely identify and authenticate users.

If the vAMI is not configured to use the enterprise user management system, this is a finding.
