Assessment Title
Rule Text
The ISSO/IAO has not recorded the passwords of high level users (ADMIN) used on DSN components and stored them in a secure or controlled manner.
Description
Discussion Text
Requirement: The IAO will ensure that no user (to include Administrator) is permitted to retrieve the password of any user in clear text.
Passwords should be recorded and stored in a secure location for emergency use. This helps prevent time consuming password recovery techniques and denial of administrator access, in the event a password is forgotten or the individual with the access is incapacitated. The passwords of high level users should be recorded and controlled so that the ISSO/IAO would be able to gain high level access if an unforeseen situation occurred that prevented the high level user to perform their duties.
