Assessment Title

Rule Text

The Cisco router must be configured to automatically audit account disabling actions.

Description

Discussion Text

Account management, as a whole, ensures access to the network device is being controlled in a secure manner by granting access to only authorized personnel. Auditing account disabling actions will support account management procedures. When device management accounts are disabled, user or service accessibility may be affected. Auditing also ensures authorized active accounts remain enabled and available for use when required.

How this relates to the STIG checklist: STIG vs SCAP benchmark.

Checks

DISA STIG (Manual Reference)

Review the router configuration to determine if it automatically audits account disabling. The configuration should look similar to the example below:

archive
 log config
 logging enable

Note: Configuration changes can be viewed using the show archive log config all command.

If account disabling is not automatically audited, this is a finding.

SCC Automation Reference

The reconstructed evaluation script behind this rule's OVAL check(s) — every module a compound check combines, with this rule's own concrete values and DISA's SCC tool's real per-module mechanism curated from static teardown of SCC releases.

Remediation

Configure the router to log account disabling using the following commands:

R4(config)#archive
R4(config-archive)#log config
R4(config-archive-log-cfg)#logging enable
R4(config-archive-log-cfg)#logging size 1000
R4(config-archive-log-cfg)#notify syslog contenttype plaintext
R4(config-archive-log-cfg)#hidekeys
R4(config-archive-log-cfg)#end
