Authentication of Jamf Pro EMM server accounts must be configured so they are implemented either via an Authentication Gateway Service (AGS) which connects to the site DoD Identity Access Management (IdAM) environment that utilizes CAC authentication or via strong password controls for the administrator local accounts.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>A comprehensive account management process that includes automation helps to ensure the accounts designated as requiring attention are consistently and promptly addressed. If an attacker compromises an account, the entire Jamf Pro EMM server infrastructure is at risk. Providing automated support functions for the management of accounts will ensure only active accounts will be granted access with the proper authorization levels. These objectives are best achieved by configuring the Jamf Pro EMM server to leverage an enterprise authentication mechanism (e.g., Microsoft Active Directory Kerberos).
