The BIG-IP APM module must retain the Standard Mandatory DoD-approved Notice and Consent Banner on the screen until users accessing virtual servers acknowledge the usage conditions and take explicit actions to log on for further access.
The banner must be acknowledged by the user prior to allowing the user access to the network. This provides assurance that the user has seen the message and accepted the conditions for access. If t...Rule Low Severity -

The BIG-IP APM module must be configured to require multifactor authentication for remote access with privileged accounts to virtual servers in such a way that one of the factors is provided by a device separate from the system gaining access.
For remote access to privileged accounts, the purpose of requiring a device that is separate from the information system gaining access for one of the factors during multifactor authentication is t...Rule Medium Severity -

Group -
The F5 BIG-IP appliance must enforce approved authorizations for logical access to resources by explicitly configuring assigned resources with an authorization list.
Authentication alone must not be sufficient to assign APM resources to a connecting client. Access to APM resources (e.g., Portal, VPN, Webtop, Remote Desktop, etc.,) must be granted only after a s...Rule Medium Severity -
