The BIG-IP appliance must be configured to dynamically manage user accounts.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>Dynamic user account management prevents disruption of operations by minimizing the need for system restarts. Dynamic establishment of new user accounts will occur while the system is operational. New user accounts or changes to existing user accounts must take effect without the need for a system or session restart. Pre-established trust relationships and mechanisms with appropriate authorities (e.g., Active Directory or authentication server) that validate each user account are essential to prevent unauthorized access by changed or revoked accounts.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
