The purpose of requiring a device that is separate from the system to which the user is attempting to gain access for one of the factors during multifactor authentication is to reduce the likelihood of compromising authenticators or credentials stored on the system. Adversaries may be able to compromise such authenticators or credentials and subsequently impersonate authorized users. Implementing one of the factors on a separate device (e.g., a hardware token), provides a greater strength of mechanism and an increased level of assurance in the authentication process.
Verify Infoblox is configured to use the required password construction rules. 1. Navigate to Infoblox Grid >> Grid Manager >> Members >> Grid Properties (Toolbar menu), or to System >> System Manager >> System Properties if using a standalone configuration. 2. Select the "Password" tab. 3. Verify the settings are configured in accordance with current DoW Policy. If the Infoblox system is not configured to use a remote authentication system (Active Directory, RADIUS, TACACS+, or LDAP) that enforces password policy, or the password settings do not meet current guidance, this is a finding.
