The Tanium Application Server must be configured to only use LDAP for account management functions.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Enterprise environments make application account management challenging and complex. A manual process for account management functions adds the risk of a potential oversight or other error. To reduce risk, the Tanium application must be configured to allow for LDAP to provide account management functions that immediately enforce the organization's current account policy.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
