Rule Text
The Juniper SRX Services Gateway must be configured with only one local user account to be used as the account of last resort.
Description
Discussion Text
Without centralized management, credentials for some network devices will be forgotten, leading to delays in administration, which itself leads to delays in remediating production problems and in addressing compromises in a timely fashion. Maintaining local administrator accounts for daily usage on each network device without centralized management is not scalable or feasible.
Local accounts are configured using the local password authentication method which does not meet the multifactor authentication criteria. The account of last resort is a group authenticator which does not provide nonrepudiation, thus must be used only rare cases where the device must be accessed using the local console and an individual authenticator is not possible, including when network access is not available.
