Discussion

Device management includes the ability to control the number of administrators and management sessions that manage a device. Requiring authentication for auto reconnecting expired administrator sessions is a best practice that lowers the risk of DoS attacks.

Check Content

1. Log in to the SMS client. 
2. Select >> "Edit" >> "Preferences". Select "Security" Under "Client Preferences".
3. Verify the option for "Auto reconnect client to server after a disconnect occurs" is unchecked.

If the TippingPoint SMS does not disable auto reconnect after disconnect, this is a finding.

Fix Text

1. Log in to the SMS client. 
2. Select >> "Edit" >> "Preferences". Select "Security" Under "Client Preferences". Uncheck "Auto reconnect client to server after a disconnect occurs". 
3. Click OK.
