F5 BIG-IP Device Management Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • If multifactor authentication is not supported and passwords must be used, the BIG-IP appliance must require that when a password is changed, the characters are changed in at least eight (8) of the positions within the password.

    <VulnDiscussion>If the application allows the user to consecutively reuse extensive portions of passwords, this increases the chances of pass...
